Dr Avinash Chander, a former head of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has reignited discussions regarding the development of a longer-range tactical ballistic missile. Dr Chander, while speaking to Nitin A. Gokhale of Bharat Shakti, proposed the development of a tactical missile with a range of 1200 to 1500km. He emphasized the potential for a cost-effective approach to this project.
India’s existing tactical missile arsenal includes the Pralay, a short-range ballistic missile with a maximum range of 500km. This missile is specifically designed for battlefield deployment and will be integrated into the Integrated Rocket Force (IRF).
