India Successfully Test-Fires Pralay Missiles

On Wednesday, two Pralay missiles were launched one after another in a salvo from the same launcher at the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, with telemetry and tracking sensors confirming both met flight objectives.
The Pralay project, sanctioned in March 2015, has undergone developmental trials led by Research Centre Imarat, Hyderabad with multiple DRDO laboratories and industry partners.
The Pralay is a five-tonne, composite-propellant missile carrying a one-tonne payload with a 350 km range, extendable to 500 km with reduced payload and advanced guidance systems.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praised DRDO, the Indian Air Force, Indian Army, DPSUs and industry, saying officials confirmed the salvo's success established the missile's reliability.
The test highlights Pralay's ability to counter high-altitude threats and missile-defence systems, as a defence scientist said it flies at hypersonic speed and can 'delude the ballistic missile defence of the enemy'.
