After postponing it twice, Indian has finally test-fired successfully the Agni-III ballistic missile. The the longest-range nuclear capable missile was test-fired for the first times from Wheeler's Island off Orissa coast. This has effectively put India on the threshold of an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile capability with over 3,000 km range. So far, India had a proven missile capability over a range of only 2,000 km with the Agni-2.
