DRDO Agni-I missile planned to test-fire

BALASORE (ODISHA): India’s defence scientists are going to show more fire power at the country’s best test facilities at Chandipur.

An advanced version of the Agni-I missile has been scheduled to be fired, in December two missiles ? BrahMos and Agni-II – will fly in the sky on Thursday.

The missile, 15 metres in length and weighing 12 tons, is part of India’s deterrent programme largely aimed at Pakistan and China.

In January scientists will fire the newly developed Agni-II + missile and an interceptor missile, which last time didn’t take off due to a technical snag in the target missile.

This is for the first time that altogether five missiles have been lined up to be test-fired within next two months.

The range of more than 1,500 kilometres Agni-II, was first tested in 1999.

The scientist says, We all are hopeful of test launching the missiles successfully.

India has also successfully tested Agni-III, Since 2007.
