Prahar missiles

India is planning to replace its 150 km range Prithvi ballistic missiles with the newly developed quick-reaction Prahar missiles. “We are withdrawing the Prithvi missiles and will replace them with the Prahar missiles, which are more capable and have more accuracy,” DRDO chief Avinash Chander said. The withdrawn tactical versions of the Prithvi would be upgraded to be used for longer ranges, he said. The Prahar is unique in that it can be fired in the salvo mode from one launcher vehicle in which four missiles can be fired in one go. The under-development Prahar missile would be offered to the Army for user trials very soon.
