Prithvi-II is a surface-to-surface, short-range ballistic missile developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It failed to take off in the user trial due to a technical malfunction during the launch.
User trials for Prithvi-II occur periodically to test and evaluate the missile's capabilities and performance.
The failure of Prithvi-II to take off in a user trial could delay its deployment and operationalization, as well as lead to further testing and modifications to ensure its reliability and effectiveness.
No, this is not the first time that Prithvi-II has failed to take off in a user trial. It has experienced failures in previous trials as well, which is a common occurrence in the development and testing of new military technologies.
The DRDO will conduct a thorough investigation to identify the cause of the failure and take necessary measures to address the issue. This may include conducting additional tests, making modifications, or implementing new procedures to improve the missile's performance and reliability.
