India today has successfully test-fired its homemade nuclear-capable surface-to-surface Agni-I missile from coastal base near Dhamra in Bhadrak in Odisha.
“It was a perfect launch,” director of the test range M V K V Prasad told IANS.
The ballistic missile can hit a target 700 km away and can bear one-tonne nuclear warhead.
Unlike India’s first indigenously made ballistic missile Prithvi, Agni is developed from solid propulsion booster and a liquid propulsion upper stage.

About Sprightly Spirit
“I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares more is none”. And all, may be. It may be the vigor. Or the spirit. Or the courage to avoid being “politically correct” or bent. And, ban all averse with immaculate overture of graciously fathomable words firm in views. Subtle. Justifying the undying conscience. Values. Knowledge. And, dares to stay true. True to own. True to the world. And, to the words. With a dream in eyes it exists. In you. In me. In all. The sprite that never shies away. The spirit that never dies!Tags:
