India successfully test-fired its
indigenously developed supersonic interceptor missile on sunday from a test range Wheeler Island, Odisha. The missile is capable of destroying any incoming
hostile projectile missiles. Sources at the Defense Research Development Organization
(DRDO) said, the advanced version of low
altitude supersonic ballistic interceptor missile was fired from the Integrated
Test Range (ITR) at a ballistic missile, a modified naval version of Prithvi
missile launched from a ship harbour inside Bay of Bengal. According to a source this was the 12th test conducted by India of the interceptor missile. The 'kill' effect of the
