Nuclear -capable Agni -II ballistic missile, with a strike range of 2000 kms ,was successfully test fired during a user trial by the strategic forces from the Wheelers Island off the Orissa coast. The success came after two launches of the surface to surface Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) failed to meet mission objectives last year..
The 20 meter long Agni II which has 1000 kg payload capacity was launched from a rail mobile system in Launch complex 4 of ITR. The 17 tonne missile , a tone missile , a two stage , solid fuel weapon system , has already been inducted into the services.
