Now let’s know about Pralay Missile, Pralay Missile is a canister used surface-to-surface tactical short-range ballistic missile for battlefield use developed by defense research and development organizations.
This missile can be launched from a canister, which means that it is very easy to carry it here. At present
we have a short-range missile. Its name is Prithvi missile.
It is a short-range missile. This missile easily targets the target up to a distance of 150 to 500 km. Many
variants of Prithvi missile are also available in today’s time.
Pralay Missile:- The Pralay Missile project was developed in March 2015 with a budget of Rs 330 .88
crore equivalent to Rs 427 crores or the US $57 million in 2020. And Pralay Missile was officially approved in
2015.
Now Pralay missile has been successfully trialed in 2021. The Pralay missile can easily target a range of
150 to 500 km. This missile is launched for surface-to-surface. This is a new generation missile that is
much more advanced than the Prithvi missile. Missile guided system has been given in this missile. Even
after the launch of the Pralay missile, its target can be changed midway. So you can say that it is very
difficult to escape from this missile. This missile can be set up within no time.
Some underdeveloped short-range ballistic tactical missiles are:-
Prahaar missile (range is 150 km)
Pragati missile (range is 170 km)
Pranash missile (range is 200 km
Why does India need a short-range ballistic missile?
At the present time, the only means for the Indian army to strike targets at a distance of close to 500 km is
the BrahMos supersonic cruise ballistic missile. Which through fetal accurate can carry a payload of only
about 200 kg or so besides being somewhat expensive.
But recently the Indian army has felt the required for a short-range ballistic missile with the range of
around 500 km that can also carry a sizeable payload.
The answer to the above quiz is an option (a) i.e. Prithvi Missile.
