Missile tests in India are often conducted off the coast of Odisha due to its strategic geographical location and favorable conditions. The relatively uninhabited coastal area allows for safe testing without risking civilian lives or property. Additionally, the proximity to defense research facilities, such as the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, provides logistical support for launching and monitoring tests effectively. This combination of factors makes Odisha an ideal site for missile trials.
A P J Abdul Kalam is an Indian scientist and former president of India. Before becoming President of India in 2002, he gained fame for his work in the field of ballistic missile and launch vehicle. His contributions were so important that he was called 'Missile man of India'. He also played an important role in India's nuclear tests in 1998.
APJ Abdul Kalam, often referred to as the "Missile Man of India," played a crucial role in the development of India's missile and space programs. He was instrumental in the design and development of the Agni and Prithvi missiles, as well as the launch vehicles for India's satellite program. Additionally, he contributed significantly to India's nuclear program, particularly during the Pokhran-II tests in 1998. Beyond his scientific achievements, Kalam was also a renowned educator and author, inspiring countless individuals with his vision for India's future.
The first test at Pokhran was in 1974, there were more tests in 1998
India has already done this in early 70s.
The U.S. asked the UN Security Council to impose new sanctions on North Korea in response to its missile tests. These sanctions aimed to increase economic pressure on North Korea to deter its weapons programs and promote denuclearization. The U.S. sought a unified international stance to address the escalating threats posed by North Korea's missile development activities.
Maybe, maybe not, no one can't be sure because it's a "blocked" country, they have done few missile tests though.
North Korea recently tested "satellite" rockets which many countries suspect are actually long range missile tests
Anil Kumble is the highest wicket taker for India in Tests and ODI.
India has won 52 test Matches out of the 16q tests that Tendulkar has player for India.
After graduation from Madras Institute of Technology (MIT - Chennai) he was the Project Director, he was heavily involved in the development of India's first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-III). As Chief Executive of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program Sourabh Somvanshi (I.G.M.D.P), he played a major part in developing many missiles in India including Agni and Prithvi although the entire project has been criticised for being overrun and mismanaged.[9] He was the Chief Scientific Adviser to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of Defence Research and Development Organisation from July 1992 to December 1999. Pokhran-II nuclear tests were conducted during this period and have been associated with Kalam although he was not directly involved with the nuclear program at the time.
43 tests.
India has won 5 tests against Australia since 1949
