show me one pritvi photo of solid fule motor.
What happened to usual plume analysis? Or did you see two 35 kN liquid fuel engines anywhere in that pic ?
It's a solid fuel missile, as confirmed by various reports.
The PDV booster uses solid propellants which have high burn-rates and can function effectively in temperatures ranging from minus 40 degrees to 50 degrees celsius above zero. An operating paradigm such as this requires special casting for the propellants developed by DRDO’s High Energy Material Research laboratory (HEMRL). PDV is also designed to have a shelf life of 10 to 15 years and its motors have a high margin for safety while retaining quick reaction capability – all of which contribute to it being a ready to use package slaved to an automated launch mechanism.
