India tests Trishul

Published February 11, 2004

BHUBANESWAR, Feb 10: India on Tuesday successfully tested its surface-to-air Trishul anti-aircraft missile, said a defence spokesman.

The Trishul was fired from a mobile launcher at a moving airborne target from the missile testing range in Chandipur, Orissa, the spokesman said.

The testing of the Trishul, India's version of the US-made Patriot missile, was the ninth since June. The missile - one of five developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organization since 1983 - is powered by solid fuel. -AFP
