Chinese claim their MBRLs have 150-200km range nobody knows how much of this is true or propaganda. They sure have more of them than us. All I can say is Our Pinaka & M777 are battle tested & reliable.

200 km range MBRL isn't anything hard to make.

For the current time we have Parahar Tactical Ballistic missile with rangers 170 km and better accuracy. The next version Pranash will have range of 200+ due date 2021.

So Prahar wasn't Inducted?

No. Remains a proof of concept.

Army demanded its range be extended to 200 km. Tests were likely to be conducted this year. No news yet.

So Prahar wasn't Inducted?

No, it hasnt even done user trials. Plus they are working on Pranash.

“The configuration of Pranash has been frozen and development trials will begin by 2021-end. We will be in a position to offer it for user trials in two years. The army wants a missile with a range in the region of 200km,” said a second official aware of the matter.
