New Delhi: In a major move that puts India in an elite league of nations, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Thursday announced that the country has carried out the successful test launch of the Intermediate Range Agni-Prime Missile from a rail-based Mobile launcher system that is designed to cover a range of up to 2,000 km and is equipped with various advanced features.

This successful flight test of the Intermediate Range Agni-Prime Missile from a rail-based Mobile launcher system has put India in the group of select nations having the capability to develop a canisterised launch system on a moveable rail network.
