Orissa Coast

As part of its plan to deploy a two-layer ballistic missile defence system, India today successfully test-fired its indigenously developed supersonic interceptor missile from the Integrated Test Range off Odisha coast.

Adding teeth to its nuclear deterrence, India today successfully test-fired an advanced variant of nuclear-capable Agni-II ballistic missile with a strike range of 3,000 km from an island off Orissa coast.

India on Monday test fired its indigenously developed nuclear capable ballistic missile Prithvi-II off the Orissa coast, defence sources said.

India conducted a successful ballistic flight test of indigenously developed Astra - Beyond-Visual-Range Air-to-Air Missile - from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur today."The missile was test-fired around 1032 hrs and the trial was successful," Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) sources said.The missile is envisaged to inter...

Nearly 187 km of Orissa's 480-km-long coastline has been exposed to erosion and a major portion of it identified as accreting or stable, a study says.While 39.3 km (about 8.2 per cent) was identified as high erosion zone, 51.96 km (10.82 per cent) fell under medium erosion zone.The assessment was made in the World Bank-funded Integrated Coastal Zon...

India test-fired the 290-km range BRAHMOS cruise missile from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur off Orissa coast as part of trials by the defence forces to fine-tune its capability."It was a user's trial by the defence forces," said a Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) official soon after the missile blasted off from a ...

India successfully test-fired its indigenously developed, nuclear-capable, short range ballistic missile (SRBM) Agni-I on Sunday from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Wheeler Island, about 100 km from here off the Orissa coast.

Dhanush and Prithvi-II missiles both nuclear-capable were successfully test fired off Orissa coast on Saturday morning.

The interceptor missile test off the Orissa coast ran into serious trouble on Monday, because co-ordination between Launch Pad 3 and Launch Pad 4 used for the exercise failed.
