The surface-to-surface, single-stage missile, powered by solid propellants, was test-fired from a mobile launcher at about 11.11 hrs from launch pad-4 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Wheeler Island, about 100 km from here, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) spokesman Ravi Kumar Gupta said.
Describing the trial as fully successful, Gupta said the ballistic missile was launched by the Strategic Forces Command of the army as part of a training exercise.
‘The entire exercise was conducted in a perfect manner and the trial was totally successful,’ he said. ‘The DRDO developed medium range ballistic missile from the production lot was launched as part of regular training exercise by the armed forces,’ said another official.
