#1 During the exercise, two P-II missiles, one each from launching complex-3 (LC-3) of the ITR and LC-4 on the Inner Wheeler Island, would be fired. Both the missiles will have an alignment in the air before dropping into the sea.

While the missile from the LC-3 will be the attacker, the LC-4 missile would be the defender. A P-II missile from LC-4 would be fired hardly five seconds after the launching of another P-II from LC-3. If they strike each other with perfect alignment, then it would be assumed successful, defence sources said.

The main objective of the exercise is to provide an air-shield (cover) to important metros, the defence source said, adding that the missile would be parked close to the Indo-Pak and Sino-Indian borders during wartime.
