Prahaar missile test fired successfully

[Dharmachakra]

The speed is different at different ranges. AAD n which Prahaar is based has speed of Mach 4.5. When Prahaar hitting the target I think its speed is more then Mach 4.

There is range payload and speed trade off occurs if one wants to highlight anyone of these 3. In what appears to be the same AAD which is being used for SSM role, its speed has been traded for extra payload.Even Mach 2.3is quiet a lot for the enemy to take it down.being sleek highly manuevrable given its thrust diverting vanes located right at the end of nozzle,I bet it will be a huge pain in the a$$ of some one.

Alas.... i can also sense something burning somewhere. Might be that propulsion smell

Adding later:

Given its 150km range and 250 kg payload Prahaar sits well beyond the MTCR guidelines. In a sense it can be exported to any other country that India wishes to without any hallabollah from other countries.

^^^ Shalwar-browning ceremony must have begun in GHQ pindi !!!

Pls stop posting this. Do not come to his level.

yeah, it burns sometime.

Ohh DRDO you have done it again, first they develop prithvi missile, then they converted it into interceptor missile, now after some upgradation they have converted it into Prahaar rocket, after some modification i am sure they will be able to fire it from Bofors or insas.......

I can see that you are just confused with acronyms and common terms like Prithvi, AAD,ABM, Prahaar,... without knowing what each of these mean.

The prithvi you are talking about being use in ABM version is a modified Prithvi with 2 stages. The main missile design was taken from land attack prithvi, but the second stage was replaced with a kill vehicle with high speed.Which the Prahaar that DRDO tested today is a copy of AAD which itself is completely a new design approach for ABM program unlike PAD.

See ,sometime ignorance turns out to be the party blooper. If you dont know what you are talking about, then ask someone but dont embarass yourself.

Now what will happen to prasun ch#r?


He faked agian and caught.

I wonder what the CEP of the Prahar is? NOT being an area weapon, accuracy is extremely important. Anyone has any gen on this?

Cheers!

Prasun probably works for the ISI/PA/ISPR! Misinformation mixed with technical jargon is his expertise!

Prahaar might have Fibre Optic Gyro (FOG) or MEMS gyro with GPS. Or in case like AAD an active radar seeker. The aacuracy will be very high , single digit in metre.

The Prahar can very well be sold to Vietnam.It beats the US ATACMS and Israelly EXTRA hands down in all(range,warhead,accuracy,missiles per launcher,speed,cost)aspects.Moreover Prahar will be extremely helpful in defencive purposes as they can be fitted with all kind of warhead configurations and used against both infantry,armor and artillery.In a future war against PRC, the Prahar can wreck havoc on the PLA.
But in my view,DRDO should also start developing an extended range version of Prahar missile with atleast 360-400 km range to counter those chinse 400mm strategic MBRLs with a stated range of 300 km.
Though Prithvi 2 can be used but their 4 hour long refulling time make them some what 'unfit' for tactical battlefield counter battery weapons.
REGARDS....

With Range=150 Kms. and Warhead= 250 Kg. , if single digit CEP is achieved, I just pray for the bad guys..

One of the main advantage will be we are producing the same sleek missile for anti-ballistic missile and tactical missile. Less production cost , less logistics , spares.



Same missile for destroying enemies and defending India.

woohoo...
cngrats.... my fellow brethren's ..good job drdo..
will it be able to carry tactical.. mushroom ..

Every thing you told is riht.I would like to add one thing.The PAD will now be scrapped infavour of the PDV because in ABM role the missiles must be highly mobile but due to the liquid propulsion the PAD's mobility is cumbersome.Actually,PAD was never meant to be an operational system,it was developed to validate the exoatmospheric kill technology which it did.Now the PDV will form the exoatmospheric arm of the 1st phase of indian ballistic missile defence shield.PDV will be comparable to THAAD with its 160 km interception altitude and hypersonic speed of mach 7-8 by far surpassing the PAD.The PDV will be a highly mobile system with a duel seeker(an imaging infrared seeker and a jam resistant mono pulse active radar seeker,operational in PAD,developed by Research Center Imarat).The PDV will be capable of intercepting 3000-3600 km range ballistic missiles at 160 km altitude where warheads are mostly stable and not manuevering due to lack of air.So the PDV will be extremely helpful against pakistani Shaheen IRBMs.

Big slap on the face of Prasun Sengupta, he even made fun of Tarmak007.
