New Dehli: India on Thursday successfully fired its short-range missile ‘Prahar’ from the Integrated Test Range off Orissa coast.
“The test launch was fully successful as the surface-to-surface, sleek missile mounted on a road mobile launcher, roared into an overcast sky, seconds within it’s blast off,” defence sources said.
“The missile witnessed a smooth vertical take-off from the launch pad and vital parameters will be analysed after mission data is retrieved,” said a Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist soon after the missile was test-fired.
The 150 km range ‘Prahar’ is a single stage missile and is fuelled by solid propellants. The uniqueness of the missile system is that “in one salvo, six missiles can be fired with multiple targets,” said a scientist associated with this project.
