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.

Prahaar Indian arty doesnt have. It did developmental trials, but no user trials. They dont know what to do with it.

So Prahar wasn't Inducted?

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.

 

[Shaitan]

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.

India to develop 200-km range tactical ballistic missile

The surface-to-surface missile, being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has been named Pranash

Indian jugaad at its best. Old IAF R73 converted into point defence QRSAM system....

We have around 5000 R73....

[Detective Pennington]

Why doesn't India purchase R-36's from Russia? It would be useful to have a range that can hit anywhere in the world.

Akash Prime is basically a repackaged Akash 1S

 

[Okabe Rintarou]

Akash Prime is basically a repackaged Akash 1S

DRDOs nomenclature is phukd up.
Agni goes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 Prime
Tejas and Arjun go: Mk1, Mk1A, Mk2
Pinaka goes: Mk1, Mk2, Guided, II
Akash goes: Mk1, Mk1S, Prime, NG

Meanwhile, Netra be like AEW&CS, NEtwork TRaffic Analysis software, quadcopter, apun sab kuch hai. Kabhi kabhi lagta hai apun hi bhagwan hai.

Failed missile program: Trishul (cool name). Successor program that was successful: VL-SRSAM (garbage generic jargon).
Lame 2D radar named: Baharini
Awesome 4D AESA GaN monster named: High Power Radar

Lemon ship launched liquid fuelled ballistic missile of dinosaur era: Dhanush
AWESOME Satellite murderer: PDV Mk II

Light helicopter: Dhruv
Awesome high-tech missile tracking and launching ship (testbed for new radar and missile tech): Also Dhruv

 

[FalconSlayers]

This version has basically come out of the Akash 1S project, where a Ku-band seeker was added to the basic Akash airframe.
So: 1. Basic Akash - no seeker (although a SARH was trialled during IGMDP days) - inducted.
2. Akash 1S/1P/Prime - Versions with the Ku-band seeker.
