Nag works fine now thanks to Sofradir IR-CCD processors.

Nag is a Big Missile with higher range. Israeli missile has a range of 2.5 km only. It is man portable. So both falls in different category.

Spike is a MPATGM unlike NAG. So Army opted for it in MP category.

What is the difference in the battlefield.

What is the difference in the battlefield.

Main difference if I am not wrong, SPIKE target can be changed in flight to a different one by the operator.

What is the difference in the battlefield.

Spike man-portable, NAG vehicle launched.

What is the difference in the battlefield.

You can target target with higher range in nag.

That means that, from above discussion and posts, the Army needs man portable anti tank missiles for vicinity fighting and Nag - to destroy tanks much before they enter the battlefield. Truly the latter must be mounted on fighting helicopters to locate and destroy enemy tanks several miles away.

There is a version of Nag missile which is launched from a gunship helicopter. It is called HELINA (HeliNa).

Answer - None.

Spike MR is only fire and forget, the LR version can be operator controlled.

 

[Chinmoy]

What is the difference in the battlefield.

Not much in battlefield scenario. Only visible difference would be that NAG with NAMICA would be part of armoured thrust whereas SPIKE would be infantry level weapon.

But the main difference as of now is in its deployment and usage.

Dhruvastra, India's anti-tank guided missile, test-fired successfully in Odisha - Watch
The flight trial of India’s anti-tank guided missile ‘Dhruvastra’ were successfully conducted at the Interim Test Range (ITR) in Odisha recently. According to reports, the trials of the helicopter-launched Nag Missile (HELINA), which has now been named as Dhruvastra anti-tank guided missile, were conducted in direct and top attack mode on July 15 and 16.

BALASORE: The flight trials of India’s anti-tank guided missile ‘Dhruvastra’ were successfully conducted at the Interim Test Range (ITR) in Odisha recently.


According to reports, the trials of the helicopter-launched Nag Missile (HELINA), which has now been named as 'Dhruvastra' anti-tank guided missile, were conducted in direct and top attack mode on July 15 and 16.


The trial was conducted without a helicopter.

HELINA is a third-generation fire and forget class anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) system mounted on the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH). The system has all-weather day and night capability and can defeat battle tanks with conventional armour as well as explosive reactive armour.


The HELINA missile can engage targets both in the direct hit mode as well as top attack mode.


Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) last year carried out three successful test firings of the NAG missiles in the Pokhran firing ranges.



It was done after the Defence Acquisition Council approved the procurement of DRDO-designed and developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at the cost of Rs 524 crore.


The system includes a third generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile, the NAG, along with the Missile Carrier Vehicle (NAMICA).


The successful induction of the NAG missile into the Indian Army is expected to give a quantum boost to the Army's capability against enemy armour.
