Short-range ballistic missile Prithvi-II was successfully test-fired off the coast of Odisha on Wednesday evening.
A tactical surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), Prithvi-II has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India under its Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP).
Prithvi II class is a single-stage liquid-fueled missile that has a maximum warhead mounting capability of 500 kg, but with an extended range of 250 km (160 mi). It was initially developed for the Indian Air Force as its primary user and was later inducted into the Indian Army as well.
While the missile was inducted into India’s Strategic Forces Command for the first time in 2003, it was the first missile developed under the IGMDP.
