New Delhi. Bharat successfully tested its surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) ‘Pralay’ from Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha on Tuesday.
According to the official, the missile, which was fired about 9.50 a.m., accomplished all of its mission goals. A battery of tracking sensors watched its path down the shoreline.
‘Pralay’ is a 350-500 km short-range surface-to-surface missile with a payload capacity of 500-1,000 kg. ‘Pralay’ was designed for deployment along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and Line of Control (LoC).
Army is soon going to get another powerful weapon that will boost the military’s firepower against threats like Pakistan and China. Developed by the DRDO, this missile is a crucial addition to Bharat’s defence capabilities, primarily focused on safeguarding its borders adjacent to China and Pakistan.
Pralay’ has been developed for deployment along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and Line of Control (LoC). ‘Pralay’ missile can be compared with China’s ‘Dong Feng 12’ and Russia’s ‘Iskander’, which was used in the ongoing war with Ukraine. Pakistan also has tactical ballistic missiles in its defence system.
