‘Agni II test will be conducted again’



Saraswat said that the Agni II ballistic missile test that failed recently would be conducted again. It was a result of poor manufacture of components. “Certain components were of poor quality and we have already alerted the manufacturers about it. The test will be conducted soon,” he said.

Redeeming this double failure will take time for it require multiple successful tests to prove system reliability.
