The DRDO on Friday successfully test-fired enhanced range versions of its 122mm calibre rocket at the Chandipur test range in Odisha.

These rockets have been developed for the Army and can destroy targets up to 40 km, the Defence Ministry said. Four enhanced versions of the rocket were fired from a multi-barrel launcher with full instrumentation and they completed mission objectives, it said.

The DRDO also test-fired an extended range version of indigenously developed “Pinaka” rocket at Integrated Test Range in Chandipur off Odisha coast. — PTI
