The groundbreaking test was carried out in what looked like a water body believed to be outside Accra.

In the video, the young men were seen with the missile as they submerged it into the waterbody readying it for the record-breaking launch.

After securely fixing the missile, the young men swam clear to avoid injury while waiting for the take-off.

In a matter of seconds, the missile jetted off from under the water and went flying way up into the clear skies.

Following the successful launch, cameras followed where the missile had landed to show that indeed, the project had gone as planned.
