Tell about Prithvi Missile ?

Prithvi II, a missile that is capable of carrying out nuclear attacks was successfully test fired from Chandipur in Balasore district of Odisha on February 19, 2015.

The missile can carry a 1,000 kg warhead to a distance of 350 km (220 mi) and a 500 kg warhead to a distance of 600 km (370 mi) and a 250 kg warhead up to a distance of 750 km (470 mi).

With constant efforts of the scientists of DRDO, the range and precision of this missile has been improved considerably as currently, this potent missile has the strike range of 350 kilometers and can carry the load of nuclear warhead up to 1000 kilogram mass (exact range being 500-1000 kilograms).

The missile was test fired as a part of a trial exercise by the Indian Army.
Prithvi II is also the first missile to be made under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) by the Defence Research and Analysis wing of Ministry of Defence, known as the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO).

Inducted by the Strategic Forces Command (SFC) in 2003 to enhance the country's nuclear arsenal in 2003, this special missile turns out to be India's first missile to be developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program, a program initiated by Ministry of Defence primarily for carrying out comprehensive research and making nuclear capable missiles.

Dhanush is a system consisting of a stabilization platform and the missile. It is a customized version of the Prithvi and is certified for sea worthiness.

Prithvi II is a series of Short range ballistic missiles launched to combat opponents in war like situations. It also assists in surface to surface fighting and precisely hitting their intended target. This missile has been developed mainly to be used by the Indian Air Force (IAF).

Dhanush has to be launched from a hydraulically stabilized launch pad.

The first test fire of this missile was carried out in 1996 and its development stage was completed in the year 2004. Presently, it has evolved into one of the most successful Indian missiles.

These nuclear tests are carried out by randomly choosing missiles from the production stock and India's total military arsenal. This is done to test our nation's progress and emergency preparations if a war like situation ever arises without any prior announcement.

Its low range acts against it and thus it is seen as a weapon either to be used to destroy an aircraft carrier or an enemy port. The missile has been tested from surface ships of the navy many times.

With constant efforts of the scientists of DRDO, the range and precision of this missile has been improved considerably as currently, this potent missile has the strike range of 350 kilometers and can carry the load of nuclear warhead up to 1000 kilogram mass (exact range being 500-1000 kilograms).

Prithvi III was first tested in 2000 from INS Subhadra, a Sukanya-class patrol vessel. The missile was launched from the updated reinforced helicopter deck of the vessel.

Inducted by the Strategic Forces Command (SFC) in 2003 to enhance the country's nuclear arsenal in 2003, this special missile turns out to be India's first missile to be developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program, a program initiated by Ministry of Defence primarily for carrying out comprehensive research and making nuclear capable missiles

The first flight test of the 250 km (160 mi) variant was only partially successful

The full operational testing was completed in 2004.

These nuclear tests are carried out by randomly choosing missiles from the production stock and India's total military arsenal. This is done to test our nation's progress and emergency preparations if a war like situation ever arises without any prior announcement.

The following year in December, an enhanced 350 km version of the missile, the Danush was tested from INS Rajput and successfully hit a land-based target.

The missile was again successfully tested-fired from INS Subhadra, which was anchored about 35 km (22 mi) offshore from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur on December 13, 2009. It was the sixth test of the missile.

Prithvi III or Dhanush was again tested on November 26, 2015 from INS Subhadra in the Bay of Bengal.

he Prithvi-I is a short-range, road-mobile, liquid propellant ballistic missile.

According to unconfirmed reports, India developed the missile with European assistance,

its motor and guidance system were originally based on the Russian S-75 Guideline surface-to-air missile.1

dia began developing the missile in 1983. In its current configuration, the missile is 8.56 m long, 1.1 m in diameter, and weighs 4000 kg.

It uses a single-stage, liquid propellant engine,
