India to Test Nuclear-Capable Missile
From Monday, April 9, 2007 issue.
India on Wednesday plans to launch its nuclear-capable Agni 3 missile in order to test its flight range, the CNN-IBN news channel reported (see GSN, Feb. 15). The missile is estimated to have a range of 3,000 kilometers. It has yet to be tested successfully. The first test of the system in July 2006 failed when the missile fell into the Bay of Bengal and missed its target (see GSN, July 10, 2006). A malfunctioning heat shield is believed to have caused the failure (Vishai Thapar, CNN-IBN, April 8).
