Bharat on Dominicus successfully effort fired its nuclear-capable ballistic missile 'Dhanush', with a ambit of 350 km, from a naval ship off the Province seacoast. The single-stage ship-based missile was flight-tested at around 11.30 am and the experimentation was flourishing, assemblage sources said. 'Dhanush' has a explosive capacity of 500 kg and is competent of carrying both unimaginative and thermonuclear warheads. It can hit both sea and shore-based targets. The missile, which has semiliquid dynamical, is the naval variant of Bharat's indigenously formulated surface-to-surface 'Prithvi' missile scheme, the sources said. "Dhanush, beingness formed by Team Search and Employment System (DRDO), was put to experimentation collectively by a aggroup of scientists and officers from the Navy," they said. "Today's experimentation actuation has been tracked from its take-off to event saucer through an joint web of disenchanted radars and electro-optic instruments for post-mission assemblage analyses," the sources said. The missile had failed in its foremost judge at the usage coach on April 11, 2000 due to confident technical problems relating to the take-off leg but resulting trials were made. The sunset experimentation of 'Dhanush' was successfully conducted from a naval ship off Orissa shore on Dominion 30, 2007, the sources said.
