Prahaar Missile to be test-fired on Sunday

[angeldemon_007]

BALASORE: Prahaar, a new quick-reaction, short-range tactical missile, which will fill the gap for a battlefield weapon system in India’s missile arsenal, is all set to be flight-tested on Sunday. It had been under development for the last four years.
It has greater accuracy as compared to other unguided missiles India has developed so far with a strike range of 150 km. Moreover, it can handle several targets at once and allow mixture of different kinds of missiles in just one launcher.
Terming ‘Prahaar’ as an excellent weapon, Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister and DRDO Director- General VK Saraswat said it would be equipped with omni-directional warheads and initially handled by the Indian Army.
The missile appears to be India’s response to Pakistan’s Nasr, a 60-km range tactical nuclear missile which was tested on April 19.
Defence sources said preparation for the first test at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur, about 15 km from here, has reached final stage. Weather permitting, the test will be conducted on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the defence authorities have initiated steps to temporarily shift people residing in the 2-km radius of the test range. A meeting in this regard will be convened with the district administration on Friday to decide the pay package for the people to be displaced for a day.

Some frustrated ones were saying first test this missile and speak about it few weeks before.

'Omni directional warhead'........bs.
That's the quality of our defence journos. VK Saraswat told that the Prahar missiles can be launched vartically in omni directional mode,he never mentioned the term 'omni directional warheads'.

And what exactly is wrong in that ? First India should conduct the test and then announce it to the world...instead of the publicity stunt that DRDO often does ....

DRDO does far less publicity stunts than it should or other similar labs do around the world. People even do not know about huge achievements of it.

There are some things which are to be told and not to be.
DRDO knows that well .
Like public dont know how many novator and russian cruise missiles we have.

Best of luck to DRDO.

Why these idiots come to journalism. How these two missiles can be compared and how one can make response missile within 3 months?

We cant say like that but it was clearly a response to pakistans short range nuclear/dirty bomb capable missile.
I wont wonder if it is range downgraded version of Prithvi that has ABM escape features. But i can say as we have ready made guidance systems software for other missiles it is easy to make even more better missiles.

I wont wonder if it is range downgraded version of Prithvi that has ABM escape features.

But isnt Prithvi a liquid-fuelled missile whereas Prahar is supposed to be solid fuelled ?

 

[Omega007]

Prahar is not a modified Prithvi,that's for sure.. ..

I mean about guidance systems not the way of propulsions

It is downgraded version of current missiles. I mean about range.
