INDIA to do Three Nuke-missile tests in three days


Amidst mounting tension along the border, India has planned three nuclear-capable missile tests in three days from Monday. All three missiles will be fired from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) off the Odisha coast.
The missiles include most sophisticated home-grown Advanced Air Defence (AAD) interceptor which is capable of destroying incoming enemy missiles of more than 2,000 km range. Other two missiles scheduled for tests are 350 km range Prithvi-II and 700 km range Agni-I, both are indigenously developed weapon systems.
While medium-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile Prithvi-II will be fired from launching complex-III of the ITR on Monday, Agni-I and AAD interceptor will be launched from LC-IV in the Adbul Kalam Island in full operational configuration on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.

Developed under India’s flagship Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) programme, it is the 12th test of the interceptor missile. Preparation for all the scheduled tests is nearly complete.
The DRDO had conducted a test of the interceptor’s target missile, a variant of Prithvi-II on Wednesday. Though the interceptor was scheduled on the day, the plan was scrapped at the last minute due to a reported snag in the command software, informed a source.
