India carried out a successful test on Thursday of its surface-to-air Akash missile at an eastern coastal testing range, defense officials said. The missile blasted off from the Chandipur-on-Sea testing site, 200 kilometers (125 miles) northeast of Orissa state capital Bhubaneswar and hit a flying target successfully, a defense ministry official.
The 700-kilogram (1,540-pound) Akash can track 100 targets simultaneously with onboard radar, move at 600 meters (yards) a second and deliver a 55-kilogram warhead across 27 kilometer in 50 seconds.
India also announced plans to build a Missile defence shield and increase its nuclear prowess with a ballistic missile capable of hitting targets up to 6,000 kilometers (3,800 miles) away.
India will conduct two tests this month of Indian manufactured interceptor missiles, saying they performed better than Patriot air-defense batteries manufactured by U.S. defense group Raytheon Co.
