India Tests 'Pralay' Missile: Boosting Defence Capabilities
India tested the 'Pralay' missile, a new weapon that can hit targets on the ground from a distance.
It's like a smart rocket that flies in a tricky way to avoid being shot down.
The missile can carry powerful explosives to destroy enemy bases and is meant to give India an advantage against potential threats from countries like China and Pakistan.
The tests were successful, and the missile will soon be used by the Indian military to protect the country.
DRDO successfully tested the 'Pralay' missile, a surface-to-surface tactical ballistic missile.
The missile was test-fired twice from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha.
Pralay is designed to fly a quasi-ballistic trajectory, making it difficult to intercept.
It can carry conventional warheads and is intended to target enemy military sites.
Procurement orders have been approved for the Indian Air Force and Army, for deployment along borders.
