Seeking to enhance the firepower of Army and Air Force, India has started developing a 200-km strike range tactical ballistic missile 'Pranash'. The ballistic missile will be used by the Army and the Air Force for destroying enemy targets at short ranges.
"DRDO is developing the 200-km strike range Pranash ballistic missile which would be used for tactical battlefields," Defence officials said.
The missile would be an advanced version of the 150-km strike range Prahar missile which was being developed for tactical missions.
The surface-to-surface ballistic missile will be of use for the Air Force and Army.
The trials of the missile would be conducted in next couple of years and the single-stage solid-propellant missile would also be readied for the exports to friendly foreign countries as its strike range is within the permissible limits of international regimes on missile sales.
Now Let's See....
