For the fourth time this month, India’s Strategic Forces Command (SFC) test launched a nuclear capable ballistic missile as part of its annual training cycle to test the combat readiness of the Indian Army’s missile forces.
The Prithvi-II tactical surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile was test fired from launch complex 3 of the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur on February 21, according to Indian defense sources speaking to local media.
The missile was fired at 830pm local time as part of a nighttime user trial. “The missile trajectory was tracked by radars, electro-optical tracking systems and telemetry stations by the DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organization) along the coast of Odisha,” sources stated.
