India on Tuesday successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable 'Agni-II' missile with a strike range of up to 3,000 km from a launch pad off Orissa coast. Sources in the defence ministry described it as user's trial in a war like scenario.
The test was carried out from an integrated mobile launcher at about 10.06 a.m. from launch pad-4 of Integrated Test Range at Wheelers Island near Dhamra, about 80 km from here, defence sources said.
A Seniour DRDO official was present to oversee the test.
The trial was successful and the missile after three successful trials by DRDO is ready for production. "We have completely developed systems for such variant of missiles," a senior defence scientist said.
