India on Thursday test-fired an upgraded version of the nuclear capable surface-to-surface ballistic missile Agni-I from a defence base off the east coast.
The missile with better re-entry technology and manoeuvrability was fired by the armed forces from a mobile launcher at the launching complex – IV of the Integrated Test Range in Wheeler's Island at about 10.10am.
"The result of the test firing was not immediately known. However the flight was made for user's trail and it has met all the mission objectives. The test was to reconfirm the technical parameters set for the user associated launch," told a defence official.
After a vertical lift-off from launch pad at the ITR, the missile rose into the sky leaving behind a ribbon of smokes. Ground radars, telemetry stations and naval ships positioned close to the intended impact point monitored the course of the missile.
