Indian Test of the Agni-II Falls Short
November 24, 2009 :: The Times of India :: News
Yesterday, India conducted a test of one of its intermediate range ballistic missiles, the Agni-II. The missile was launched from an island off of India's eastern coast, near the state of Orissa. The putative goal of the launch was to test missile components at night; the missile, with a range of over 2,000 km, made it through its launch phase and first-stage separation, but apparently failed shortly before the second-stage separation.
This marks yet another unsuccessful test for India's ballistic missile program, which has been faced with many setbacks in recent years. The test was, however, India's first attempt at a night-launch of one of its ballistic missiles, so in that sense can be considered a tactical step forward for the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization.
