Delhi to test new missile
NEW DELHI, Jan 1: India will test its longer-range Agni ballistic missile in the next few months, newspapers reported on Thursday.
"Agni-III will certainly be launched in the next few months," V.K. Atre, chief of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation told reporters on Wednesday in New Delhi.
DRDO sources say the latest variant of the nuclear-capable Agni missile will have a maximum range of up to 4,000 kilometres, making it capable of striking strategic targets deep inside China. -AFP
