AFP, BHUBANESWAR, India (AFP) Dec 19, 2003-India tested its Trishul anti-aircraft missile Friday for the second straight day, defence officials said.
The Trishul (“Trident”) was fired from a mobile launcher at a moving airborne target from the testing range in Chandipur in the eastern state of Orissa, they said.
It was the sixth test of the Trishul, which can deliver a 15-kilogram (33-pound) warhead up to nine kilometers (five miles) away.
Thursday's test of the missile was described by defence officials as a success.
