Lakshya test-flown

BALASORE NOV.19. Lakshya — the indigenously-built pilotless target aircraft — was today successfully test-flown, for the third time during the last one week, from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-sea, about 15 km from here.

According to ITR sources, the unmanned air vehicle was test-flown at 12.57 p.m.

Earlier, Lakshya was test-flown from the ITR on November 14 and again on November 17 to gauge the accuracy of the anti-aircraft missile.
