India Gives Its Military Approval To Use Pralay Tactical Ballistic Missiles Along Its Border With China

The Defense Ministry has given the green light to a plan to buy 120 Pralay tactical ballistic missiles for the military. These missiles will be placed along the border with China. This is the first time in the service’s history that the government has given the go-ahead for ballistic missiles to be used in tactical operations.

“The plan to make a rocket force has been given a boost because a high-level defence ministry meeting approved the plan to buy around 120 Pralay ballistic missiles,”

They said that the missiles are now being made in large numbers and that they should be ready for use soon.

The late Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Bipin Rawat, wanted the military to make a strategic rocket force, and this project would help them do that in a big way.

Admiral R. Hari Kumar, the head of the Navy, said not long ago that Gen. Bipin Rawat was working on making a rocket force to fight border enemies.

The missile was tested twice with success over two days in December, and since then, the forces have been working on getting it and putting it into use. Pralay can travel between 150 and 500 kilometres. It is powered by a solid-fuel rocket motor and other new technologies.

The missile guidance system has navigation and avionics that are up-to-date. “Pralay is a surface-to-surface missile that is almost as fast as a ball. The advanced missile has been made so that it can beat missiles that are meant to stop it. It can change its course in the air after going a certain distance “sources said.

Sources also said that these missiles give troops a great deal of power to destroy or eliminate enemy air defence sites or other high-value targets.
