印度试射可携带核弹头的烈火ii导弹
India Tuesday testfired its medium-range, nuclear-capable Agni II missile from a military island off the coast of eastern state of Odisha, sources said.
有消息称，印度周二在东部奥里萨邦一座军事海岛上试射中程可携带核武器的Agni II导弹。
"The home-made, surface-to-surface missile was testfired this morning from the Integrated Test Range in Odisha's Balasore district as part of Indian Army's training exercise," sources said.
The two-stage Agni II missile, with a strike range of over 2,000 km, has already been inducted into the Indian Army. It can carry a payload of 1,000 kg.
Agni is a family of medium to intercontinental range ballistic missiles developed by India, named after one of the five elements of nature - fire.
The first missile of the series, Agni I was developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program and successfully testfired in 1989.
