Time has been purposefully masked?

 

[SUPERPOWER]

Can this be fired in salvo like prahar? If yes than abhi hi 1000 truck ka order dedo...

Launch all of it on lawhore

 

[Photon]

So its Tata LPTA,great

Good thing I observed is it has potential to be a multi-tube ballistic missile launcher in future, enough space for additional cannisters. atleast two or three per launcher.

 

[The Shrike]

Looks like it is tube launched but not cold fired .

 

[Kuldeepm952]

I think there is space for 1 more pralay tube on launcher??
Do you think it has some kind of seeker for terminal phase??

Yes launcher can accommodate 2 pralay srbm afaik

 

[XR SAM]

I hope we have enough EW capabilities to completely disable the enemy SAM batteries to make full use of this missile. Recently we have seen how Iskandar Tbm missile was intercepted by Barak 8. I know Chinese copied junks are no match to the sophistication of Baraks, but still they are mass producing them and in war quantity also matters.

I think it’s the same TATA 5252 LPTA 12X12 TEL as Prahar.

Excellent news of successful test of Pralay. DRDO is on a roll. Is difference between Pralay and Prahaar essentially range( 200km max for Prahaar, 500km for Pralay) ?

No. Difference is Payload capability.
Pralay has a maximum payload capacity of 1000kg against 500 kg of Prahaar.

IIRC the missile weighs >5t, I'm guessing a 8x8 not might be not be enough to carry 2.

Yes saurav jha tweeted that one version of it will get mmw seeker

 

[Lonewolf]

Not more than 5ton , it's less

 

[porky_kicker]

Are those antennas? This is not one our ordinary ballistic missiles is it?

Which antennas

The one in the background ?

 

[FalconZero]

IIRC the missile weighs >5t, I'm guessing a 8x8 not might be not be enough to carry 2.

here's the details about Pralay from drdo's specsheet.

Propellant weight is ~3T so with max payload of ~1T it will be around 4T + 0.7T for approximations, around 5T yeah, considering the weight of prahar is around 1.5T with payload it will be close to 2T and at most 2 pralay if we assume that 6 prahar is the max payload of the truck as shown in the post above (which likely is not).

I got this info,

Payload capacity of the Tata LPTA 5252 is 33T so probably it can 4 of the pralay missiles (4x5 = 20T) on conservative estimates since we don't know the weight of the truck.

 

[Tuco]

Which antennas

The one in the background ?

On the heatsheald above payload area.

 

[porky_kicker]

On the heatsheald above payload area.

I thought you talking about antenna in background

I even posted on it lol

If anyone asks tell them you meant the one in background lol

IMO those are not antennas

 

[Chinmoy]

Anyways incase not known

@sagar is talking about the rail guidance.

 

[porky_kicker]

@sagar is talking about the rail guidance.

Rail guidance ?

 

[Tuco]

@sagar is talking about the rail guidance.

No the ones at the top. I thought they were for communication.
