India's indigenously developed Pinaka rockets successfully test-fired

[Rahul9090]

BALASORE (ODISHA): India's indigenously developed Pinaka rockets were on Thursday successfully test-fired thrice from a multi-barrel rocket launcher at an armament base in Chandipur-on-sea, about 15 km from here.

"Three rounds of Pinaka rockets were successfully tested from the proof and experimental establishment ( PXE) at Chandipur," defence sources said.

Pinaka, which has undergone several tough tests since 1995, has been inducted into the armed forces and the present trials were conducted with some improvements in the system, the sources said, adding some more tests are likely to be held.

The unguided rocket system is meant to neutralise large areas with rapid salvos.


The rockets with a range of 40 km and capable of acting as a force-multiplier, were developed to supplement artillery guns, the sources said.

The quick reaction time and high rate of fire of the system give an edge to the Army during a low-intensity conflict situation, they said.

The system's capability to incorporate several types of warheads make it deadly for the enemy as they could even destroy solid structures and bunkers.

The Pinaka system with a battery of six launchers can fire a salvo of 12 rockets in 44 seconds and neutralise a target area of 3.9 sq km.




In July last year, some advanced, second generation Pinaka Mark II Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher System had undergone successful trials at Chandhan area in Pokhran field firing ranges in western Rajasthan and are in development stage, the sources said.

The development and trials of the advanced system would continue and the rocket was expected to enter service very soon, they said.

Where is Pinaka 2 with 120 KM of Range with 250 KG payload on it targeting target at a speed of Mach 1.8 after climbing 40 KM above the earth? I am eagerly awaiting.

What are these Second generation Pinaka? Can they target at 60 KM away in place of 40 KM?

great news

I hope this time you manually control the emission, and not before the submarine torpedo in the explosion reason.

Extended Range Version of Pinaka Rocket System Tested Successfully -The New Indian Express

BALASORE (ODISHA): The Mark-II version of Pinaka rocket system was successfully tested from a defence base off the Odisha coast on Thursday. At least three rounds of the rocket were test fired from the Proof and Experimental Establishment (PXE) at Chandipur-on-sea.

Defence sources said the tests were of an extended range version of the rocket. While the older version of the rocket has a range of 40 km, its extended version can destroy targets at a distance of nearly 65 km. All three rockets were fired from a multi-barrel rocket launcher (MBRL).

The rocket launcher can fire 12 rockets with 1.2 tonne of high explosives within 44 seconds and destroy a target area of 4 sq km at a time. The quick reaction time and high rate of fire of the system gives an edge to the Army during a low-intensity conflict situation.

Pune based Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) of DRDO conducted the tests. Three more rounds of test have been planned for Friday. The advanced version of the rocket system is expected to be inducted in the armed forces very soon.

PXE Director R Appavu Raj confirmed that all three tests were successful meeting the mission objectives. “The rockets travelled nearly 61 km as coordinated thus proving the efficiency and capability of the system. The tracking radars have monitored the movements of the rockets till the point of impact,” he told ‘The New Indian Express’.

Pinaka is the first indigenous rocket system successfully designed, developed and produced by the ARDE with the help of private industries. The system's capability to incorporate several types of warheads makes it deadly for the enemy as it can even destroy their solid structures and bunkers, a defence official said.

This rocket system, which has undergone several tough tests since 1995, has been inducted into the armed forces and the trials were conducted with some improvements in the system. The unguided rocket system has been developed to neutralise large areas with rapid salvos.

On December 20 last year, six rockets were successfully test fired. However, on August 7, two rounds of second generation Pinaka rocket were test-fired from a multi- barrel rocket launcher which had failed to provide desired result as expected by the mission team.

In July last year, similar trials of the Pinaka Mark-II version from Chandhan area in Pokhran field firing ranges of Rajasthan were stated as ‘successful’ by the DRDO. The trials were conducted by the DRDO and Indian Army. Pinaka’s performance was lauded during the Kargil War, where it was successful in neutralising enemy positions on mountain tops.

While the Pinaka will not be developed further into a larger system, its success and the experience gained from the program has led the ARDE and its partner organizations, to launch a project to develop a long range MRL similar to the Smerch MLRS. A 7.2-metre rocket for the Pinaka MBRL, which can reach a distance of 120 km and carry a 250 kg payload will be developed. These new rockets can be fired in 44 seconds, have a maximum speed of mach 4.7, rise to an altitude of 40 km before hitting its target at mach 1.8 and can destroy an area of 3.9 km2.

Last Indian submarine explosion, not because of a short circuit torpedo install it? I just remind you of your rocket careful operation.

Sure I will, if an intelligible message is delivered. But if a completely undecipherable one liner is written here, I can only question the faculties of the person who wrote it.
