India successfully test-fired its medium range nuclear capable Agni-II missile on Thursday for the third time, Press Trust of India (PTI) reported, quoting Defence Ministry Sources. The missile was launched from a mobile launcher at the Wheeler Island range in the Bay of Bengal. Agni-2 is a two-stage missile capable of hitting targets 2,000 km from its launch site with a one-ton warhead. India previously tested Agni-2 in 2009. The weapon has been in service since 2002. “The trial of the surface-to-surface missile was conducted from a mobile launcher from the Launch Complex-4 of Integrated Test Range (ITR) ,” Defence sources said. Describing the launch as a complete success, ITR Director M.V.K.V. Prasad said: “All mission parameters were met during the trial of the indigenously developed missile.” Agni-II Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) has already been inducted into the services and today’s test was carried out by the Strategic Forces Command of the Army with logistic support provided by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
