National Technology Day: Here are some Indian missiles

On May 11, 1998, India conducted three successful nuclear tests at the Army’s Pokhran Test Range under Operation Shakti. Two more nuclear tests were conducted on May 13, led by late President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, which made India an official member of the elite club of nuclear power nations. However, that was not all India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation achieved. On the same day, they also tested their first indigenous aircraft, Hansa-3, and conducted a successful test firing of the Trishul missile. The Prime Minister at the time, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, declared May 11 as National Technology Day. Take a look at some Made-In-India missiles
