The Indian armed forces are now set to procure the ‘Pralay’ ballistic missile.
It can hit the target from 150 to 500 km.
Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) had successfully conducted the maiden flight test of this indigenously developed surface-to-surface missile ‘Pralay’.
It was done from Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha in December 2021.
Pralay is powered with a solid propellant rocket motor.
The new missile followed the desired quasi ballistic trajectory and reached the designated target with high degree accuracy, validating the control, guidance and mission algorithm.
