Army will get the power of Pralay missile on China and Pakistan border. Pralay missile is a short-range ballistic missile. In December 2022, 120 missiles were approved for the Air Force. After this, in April 2023, approval of two units was received. In which there were about 250 missiles. So that they can be included in the Rocket Force of the Indian Army. After this, in September 2023, DAC allowed the formation of an army regiment for these missiles. Now a unit which will have 120 missiles is yet to get approval. After this, a total of 370 missiles will be included in the army. Pralay missile is a short-range surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missile.
The range of Pralay missile is 150 to 500 km. The speed of Pralay is 1200 km per hour. Which can be increased to 2000 km per hour. That is, its speed increases when it falls on the target from the air. China has such Dongfeng-12 missile. Whereas, Pakistan has Ghaznavi, M-11 (received from China) and Shaheen missile.
The advantage of short range is that it will destroy the enemy bases near the border in a jiffy. In the month of December 2021, this missile was tested twice within 24 hours. With the deployment of this missile on the China and Pakistan border, both the countries will remain within limits. If it is fired from near the border, it will not take much time to destroy the bunkers, cannons, military bases or their weapons depots of China or Pakistan.
The accuracy and speed of the Pralay missile make it the most lethal. This 5-tonne missile can carry a conventional weapon weighing 500 to 1000 kg on its nose. The technology of three missiles has been used to make this missile. These missiles are – Prahar, Prithvi-2 and Prithvi-3.
The Pralay missile has the ability to attack even at night. This means that it is possible to attack Chinese targets even at night. This means that it will have an infrared or thermal scanner which helps in attacking at night. Pralay missile runs on inertial guidance system. It has solid propellant fuel. This means that high explosive, penetration, cluster munition, fragmentation, thermobaric and chemical weapons can be used in the warhead of this missile. The accuracy of Pralay to destroy the target is 10 meters i.e. 33 feet. This means that even if this missile falls within a radius of 33 feet from the target, it will cause the same damage as it would have caused if it fell on the target accurately. This means that the area to be destroyed will be destroyed. PLC & GT
