INDIA SUCCESSFULLY TEST FIRED "GOD OF FIRE" Agni - III
India's most feared missiles named after Hindu "God of Fire" the Agni 3 successfully test fired by
Strategic Forces Command (SFC) at 9.52 a.m. from a mobile launcher as part of regular training exercise for the user. . . Its ability to carry 1.5 Ton of single Nuclear warhead and strikes it's target any where between 350 km - 5000 km with maximum accuracy . This God of Fire missile can be launched from mobile vehicle which makes it harder for the enemies to track and destroy. Today's test is a part of training exercise as missile has been already inducted into SFC. Some call it a "China specific" missile along with next 3 extended Agni series namely Agni 4(oookm) , Agni 5(000km+) and Agni 6(000km+) completing India's requirement to cover whole of China under its Nuclear ambit incase of Nuclear conflict between these two Asian Giants . But the good news is that both these "responsible" growing superpowers belive in self imposed restriction of NO FIRST USE policy.
Test has been conformed by The Hindu /DD News among other media sources.

The suface to surface missile was launched by the personnel of Strategic Forces Command (SFC) at 9.52 a.m. from a mobile launcher.
India on Thursday successfully test-fired nuclear weapons-capable Agni-III ballistic missile from the Wheeler Island off Odisha coast. Although the missile has a strike range of more than 3,000 k.m., it was tested for a lesser range, in today's mission.
The suface to surface missile was launched by the personnel of Strategic Forces Command (SFC) at 9.52 a.m. from a mobile launcher as part of regular training exercise for the user.
It was picked up randomly from the production lot and test fired. The SFC is tasked with handling strategic weaons systems. After the command for auto-lanuch was given, the two-stage solid-propelled missile took off on a flight of 1,200 seconds and homed onto the pre-designated target area in the bay of bengal with accuracy. Defence Research and Development Organisation sources told The Hindu that it met all the mission objectives.
Various parameters and trajectory of the 17-meter tall missile were tracked and monitored in real time by radars along the east coast, as also by the telemetry and electro-optical systems. Two down-range ships near the impact point recorded the terminal event.
Agni-III is one of the sophisticated and accurate missiles of its class and has already been inducted into armed forces. It is capable of carrying a payload weighing 1.5 tonnes to a distance of more than 3,000 k.m.
