Go through this video.


Watch from 2:20 to 2:35.

The scientific inadvertently reveals the true range. He was about to tell 7 but quickly changed to 500.

So the 5 ton Pralay has a max range of either 700 or 750 km. The scientific says it's a 3 stage solid powered missile with a 700 kg warhead. The solid rocket motor is dual pulse and that accounts for two stages.

What's the 3rd stage? So the portion of missile from warhead bay till the tip forms another stage and is powered in the terminal phase which will also enable it to maneuver in three dimensional space and make small corrections for more accuracy .

The scientist says the 3 stage solid propulsion makes the missile even more accurate and quotes a CEP of 10 metre. Pralay has a MMW seeker in the nose which becomes active when the missile is 4 kms away from the target.

I strongly believe Pralay has a sub 5 m CEP and the W band seeker range will increase from the present 4 km to more as we mature this tech.

If fitted with a X band mono pulse imaging seeker like Brahmos , Pralay can be used to target moving maritime targets. Then a smaller 300-350 kg warhead will also suffice and the range will be 700+ km.
I don't really understand where the 3rd stage is, doesn't makes sense since RV of Pralay is not separable, the whole missile remains intact till impact. There is really no need for 3rd stage in such a case. 3rd stage would have been used with separable RV for last course correction and in that case RV should have been visible with some aerodynamic control fins or system, which is not there in pralay.

We will see what happens
It might or might not happen, that’s not the issue. Issue is having unrealistic expectations then ranting when reality strikes.
I understands the disappointment and frustration in our system and is in agreement with bakabakchod and jai Jagannath.Posting rant on forum will hardly achieve anything but annoyed members.

absolutely knew these games were going to begin as soon as the negative import list was announced

Too many stand to lose too much should India go the US way and procure 95% of its military system from domestic companies


Notice today the Indian army COAS on a trip to France was shown around a Nexter Caesar just as the DRDO-Kaylani MGS is unveiled. The game never ends

Next we will hear that the 8x8 DRDO MGS isn’t suitable because of strategic mobility concerns and they need the 6X6 Caesar option. Watch.

The sole purpose of MoD/DAC/CCS is not to get the required equipment for the armed forces... but to see to it that the laid down procedure(DPP) gets followed... whether it ends up with any purchases or not is irrelevant.

The process matters more than the end result... & when the process concludes without any acquisition(2/3rd times in past 2 decades)... then a new process gets initiated... & the vicious cycle continues.

The preparedness of 3 forces continues to suffer.
