India tests surface-to-air missile
BHUBANESWAR: India on Saturday successfully tested its surface-to-air Akash missile for the third time in as many days, defence officials said.
The missile blasted off from the Chandipur-on-Sea testing site in Orissa state on India’s eastern coast on Saturday afternoon, officials said. The two earlier tests this week at the testing site 200 kilometres northeast of state capital Bhubaneswar were also described as successful. The 700-kilogramme has a striking range of 27 kilometres and can carry a 55-kilogramme warhead. afp
