India test-fired its surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) ‘Pralay’.
It is capable of striking enemy targets within 350-500km distance. It has a payload capacity of 500-1,000kg.
‘Pralay’ has been developed for deployment along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and the Line of Control (LoC).
It can be compared with Russia’s ‘Iskander’ and China’s ‘Dong Feng 12’.
The ‘Pralay’ missile incorporates a jet vane control (JVS) system for thrust vector control. It means that it may undertake evasive manoeuvres in terminal flight.
Reports mentioned that the missile navigates to its target using inertial guidance.
