The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted two successful consecutive test flights of the Pralay missile, showcasing India's growing capabilities in advanced missile technology. Pralay is a short-range surface-to-surface missile with a range of 150 to 500 km, developed indigenously using solid propellant and equipped with advanced guidance systems for high-precision targeting. The missile's quasi-ballistic trajectory allows in-flight manoeuvres and low-altitude flight, increasing its survivability against interception. Developed primarily by the Research Centre Imarat in Hyderabad with support from DRDO labs in Pune, Pralay strengthens India's tactical missile arsenal and enhances its strategic deterrence posture in the region.
