BALASORE (Orissa), DEC 10
A test-fire of an upgraded Agni-II nuclear-capable intermediate range ballistic missile from Wheeler Island off Orissa coast failed on Friday with the weapon system deviating from its trajectory immediately after lift off.
“Experimental launch of Agni-II missile experienced a trajectory deviation immediately after the lift off resulting in failure of the mission,” a DRDO spokesman said in New Delhi.
He said, “Detailed analysis is in progress”.
DRDO sources said in Balasore, “The trial of the surface-to-surface missile, launched from a rail mobile launcher from the launch pad-4 of Integrated Test Range around 1000 hours, was not successful”.
