Prithvi-II missile fails to take off
Bhubaneswar, Sep 24 (ANI): The nuclear capable Prithvi-II ballistic missile failed to take off during a user trial from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur on sea, off the Orissa coast today.
The test-fire was held as a part of user's trial by the armed forces.
According to defence sources, the failure to lift Prithvi-II was due to a snag either in the main missile or the sub-system, including the launcher.
The last four user's trials of the surface-to-surface missile were successfully conducted during the about one year period, from the same site in the ITR.
The last trial was conducted on June 18.
The Prithvi -II has a strike range of 350 km and a two stage engine. It is nine metres long and a metre wide and can carry a payload of 500 kilograms.
It has already been inducted into Indian armed forces
It is equipped with an advanced inertial navigation system and has features to deceive anti-ballistic missiles. (ANI)
