The Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) successfully carried out a salvo launch of two indigenously developed Pralay missiles from a single launcher off Odisha’s coast. The test demonstrated high precision, reliability, and operational readiness, marking a crucial step towards induction into the Indian Armed Forces. Developed with contributions from multiple DRDO laboratories and industry partners like Bharat Dynamics Limited and Bharat Electronics Limited, Pralay is a solid-propellant quasi-ballistic missile with advanced guidance systems capable of carrying multiple warhead types. The successful trial reinforces India’s indigenous missile development program and strengthens national defence capabilities.
