Express News Service

BHUBANESWAR: The Strategic Forces Command (SFC) of Indian Army on Wednesday efficiently performed a recent night time trial of intermediate vary nuclear-capable ballistic missile Agni III from a defence check facility off Odisha coast. 

The Made-in-India surface-to-surface missile carrying a dummy payload blasted off from an auto-launcher at Abdul Kalam Island in full operational configuration at about 7.30 pm. This was the second night time trial of Agni-III after a failed try in 2019.

The check was thought-about ‘very crucial’ because it was to reconfirm the technical parameters set for the consumer and its readiness to deal with the weapon throughout night time hours. The flight trajectory of the missile was set for the complete vary. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) offered all logistic help. 

A defence scientist stated the check proved the reliability of the weapon and reconfirmed the military’s operational readiness. The missile may be fired anytime and in any terrain briefly discover. All the radars, electro-optical techniques positioned alongside the coast have tracked and monitored all of the parameters of the missile all through the flight path, he stated. 

Developed by DRDO, Agni III has already been inducted within the armed forces in 2011. Propelled by two-stage strong propellant, it’s able to carrying each standard and nuclear warheads weighing as much as 1.5 tonne. The missile is 17 metre tall and has a diameter of two-metre. It weighs round 50 tonne. 

The missile used within the check was picked up randomly from the manufacturing lot. Equipped with state-of-the-art avionics, superior on-board pc, the missile has the newest options to information in-flight disturbances. 

“The successful test was part of routine user training launches by the SFC. The launch was carried out for a predetermined range and validated all operational parameters of the weapon system,” the Ministry of Defence stated in an announcement.
