- India has successfully test-fired indigenously-developed anti-tank guided missile systems ‘Helina’ and ‘Dhruvastra’ in the Pokhran range.
- The Helina (Army version) and Dhruvastra (Airforce version) are helicopter-launched versions of third-generation anti-tank guided missiles.
- They are known as NAG Missile System.
- The missile systems have been designed and developed indigenously by the DRDO.
- Both the missiles can engage targets both in direct hit mode as well as top attack mode.
- Top Attack Mode: The missile is required to climb sharply after launch and travel at a certain altitude, then plunge on top of the target.
- Direct Attack Mode: The missile travels at a lower altitude, directly striking the target.
