In a major boost for the armed forces, India on Wednesday successfully test fired the extended range of Pinaka rocket from Integrated Test Range (ITR) Chandipur off the coast of Odisha. The enhanced version of the Pinaka rocket would replace the existing Pinaka Mk-I rockets which are currently under production. On October 19, India had successfully testfired the Stand-off Anti-tank (SANT) Missile off the coast of Odisha. India test fired SANT missile just a day after a successful test of the naval version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. The BrahMos missile was test-fired on Sunday from an indigenously-developed Indian Navy's stealth destroyer INS Chennai.
