NEW DELHI, November 12 (RIA Novosti) - India successfully test-fired on Wednesday a medium-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile, the Department of Defense Research and Development said.
The Shaurya, with a payload of one ton and a 600-700 km range, is capable of effectively engaging targets in Pakistan and China.
The DRDO said the missile was launched from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, in eastern India.
According to Indian media reports, although there was speculation that the missile was a land version of the K-15 submarine-launched ballistic missile, which is still in development, DRDO sources were quoted as saying the Shaurya is unrelated to the K-15 Sagarika project.
