Explanation
AGNI-IV, a surface-to-surface missile, was test fired in January 2014 from Wheeler Island, Odisha, India.
Wheeler Island is located off the coast of Odisha and is primarily used as a test facility by the Indian military for conducting missile tests. It is a part of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur, which is also located in Odisha.
The AGNI-IV missile is a nuclear-capable, intermediate-range ballistic missile that was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. It has a range of around 4,000 kilometers and is designed to be able to strike targets across Asia, including China and Pakistan.
The successful test of AGNI-IV in 2014 was a significant milestone for India's missile program and demonstrated the country's ability to develop and deploy advanced missile technology. It also served as a deterrent against potential adversaries, as it increased India's ability to strike targets from a distance.
