News Story: Pinaka rockets successfully test-fired


BALASORE, ODISHA (PTI): Indigenously developed 'Pinaka' rockets were on Thursday successfully test-fired from a multi-barrel rocket launcher (MBRL) by an armament establishment from a base at Chandipur-on-sea, about 15 km from here. 

"Three rounds of Pinaka rockets were successfully tested today," defence sources said, adding some more trials were expected to be conducted on Friday. 

On January 30 and 31, this year, seven rounds of "Pinaka" rockets were tested from the same base. 

'Pinaka', which has undergone several tough tests since 1995, has already been inducted into the armed forces.
