There is ofcourse.
Look at the fins of Prithvi, aerodynamically it is a disaster at this time and age. I am not trying to undermine their achievements, but as the OP bragged about the missile, its still un use and the Indian strategic forces still count on this platform.
Those planar fins of type of flight control surfaces used in this missile are long expired. My little knowledge tells me that design is a disaster for a pro claimed missile power tgat launches satellite carriers. Unless all are imported technologies like other Indian systems with Russian/western origin
Large control surfaces, fins add high RCS. But thats not the point, this is their test vehicle for whatever they are trying to check on it, could be new RV, new motor with same dia, new fuel etc etc congratulations to whoever got his/her experiment results.
but then again, we have zero stake in Indopak theatre.
