India successfully test fires Prithvi-2 missile


India' potential nuclear-ballistic missile Prithvi-2 was successfully test-fired from the chandipur testing range in Balasor district. The missile has a range of 350 kilometers of firepower.

ITR Director M V K V Prasad said that the test was successful. The missile was tested by the Indian armed forces. Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO) scientists were monitoring the trial.

Prasad explained the missile's capabilities. Prithvi is the country's first domestic-made ballistic missile. This is one among the five missiles developed under the country's integrated guided missile development program (IGMDP).

This is a medium-range missile, which can reach its goals in 483 seconds. It can hit up to a height of 43.5 km and can afford 500 kg of weight.
