Pralay : Answer to PLA Rocket Force | 5 Units under manufacturing #indianarmy #drdo

Lack of Modularized pod in Indian MLRS Why a tactical ballistic missile? Pralay development progress Last year the development of Pralay became more evident when DRDO successfully conducted flight-tests of Pralay missile on 22 December 2021 and 23 December 2021. This was the first time; two consecutive flight tests of a ballistic missile have been conducted successfully on two consecutive days. During the 1st trial the new missile followed the desired quasi-ballistic trajectory and reached the designated target with high degree accuracy. The quasi-ballistic trajectory of Pralay makes its detection extremely difficult. In its second launch on 23 December 2021, the missile was tested for heavier payload and different ranges to prove the precision and lethality. As per reports, Pralay missile would need at least two more tests before it can be operationalized and will completely replace Prithvi missiles. At present 5 Pralay missile is under fabrication and is expected to be delivered in next 6 months. This 5 Missiles are possibly being fabricated for user trial post which it will be ready for induction and production. What’s new in Pralay? Pralay is going to be a canisterised tactical, surface-to-surface, and short-range ballistic missile (SRBM). The missile is the amalgamation of technologies developed for exoatmospheric interceptor missile Prithvi Defence Vehicle (PDV) and Prahaar tactical missile. It uses a new generation of composite propellant that High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) started working on during the development phase of Sagarika from K series of Missile family. The solid fuel is highly efficient and can provide more energy compared to the fuel used in Agni missile series. This has enabled to reduce the overall size of the missile without compromising with their operational range. Quasi-ballistic missile It is also going to be superior to that of a traditional ballistic missile as it does not follow a complete ballistic trajectory and therefore difficult to detect it when launched. The JVC i.e., Jet Vane Control system recently observed, during the launch, provides the Pralay ability to deviate from typically ballistic or parabolic path and maneuver during ascent of the missile by deflecting rockets exhaust vanes. This is why its called Quasi-ballistic missile too. The JVC is only available at the initial phase i.e., in boost mode when the missile is ascending the atmosphere. Pralay is much needed replacement for Prithvi as the later was liquid fuel based whose maintenance is difficult. Range & Payload Pralay can payload of 350 kg to 700 kg high explosive preformed fragmentation warhead, Penetration-Cum-Blast (PCB) and Runway Denial Penetration Submunition (RDPS) at a range of 150 km to 500 km. During war time it can be used to target radar and communication installations, command and control centers and advance airfields. Upon induction, Pralay missile will become part of Regiment of Artillery. As per the latest update the missile is just two more test away from being cleared for production. Once inducted into armed forces it will compliment Pinaka at longer range to provide credible deterrence against the PLA’s rocket force. ==========WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN============= Most of the pictures clip or BGM included in the Video Belongs to their Respected Owners and we do not claim rights.
