India conducts twin trials of Pralay ballistic missile with 500 km range
India successfully conducted two successive tests of the short-range Pralay ballistic missile — which has a strike range of 150 to 500 km — from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha on July 28 and by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Pralay is a state-of-the-art, quasi-ballistic, surface-to-surface missile engineered for high-precision strikes in conventional battlefield has a strike range between 150 and 500 kilometres and is designed specifically to defeat missile interceptor systems. The missiles precisely followed the intended trajectory and reached the target point with pin-point accuracy meeting all the test subsystems performed as per expectations, which were verified using test data captured by various tracking sensors deployed by Integrated Test Range (ITR), including instruments deployed on ship positioned near the designated impact with a solid-fuel rocket motor and advanced navigation and avionics, Pralay can change its trajectory mid-flight, making it highly resistant to missile can carry conventional warheads weighing between 350 and 700 kilograms and is designed to strike command centres, logistics hubs, and enemy airbases with high accuracy. Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has complimented DRDO, the Armed Forces and the Industry for the successful flight-tests. The missile equipped with modern technologies will give further technological boost to the Armed Forces against threats, he said. In a post on X, the Office of the Defence Minister said, "The @DRDO_India has conducted two consecutive successful flight tests of Pralay Missile on 28th and 29th July 2025 from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam island off the coast of Odisha."Pralay has a twin-launcher system, mounted on a high-mobility vehicle, enabling rapid deployment along active borders.- Ends

DRDO Successfully Tests Maximum And Minimum Range Of 'Pralay' Missile In Odisha
Last Updated: The tests, known as User Evaluation Trials, were carried out on Monday and Tuesday from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island, off the coast of Odisha News18 The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Tuesday successfully tested both the minimum and maximum range capabilities of the 'Pralay' missile system over two days in Odisha. The tests, known as User Evaluation Trials, were carried out on Monday and Tuesday from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island, off the coast of Odisha, an official said. 'Pralay' is an indigenous missile that uses solid propellant and features advanced guidance and navigation technology. According to the Ministry of Defence, the missile followed its intended flight path accurately and hit its target with precision, meeting all objectives of the trials. All parts of the missile system worked as expected. The performance was confirmed through data collected by various tracking sensors set up by the Integrated Test Range (ITR), including equipment placed on a ship near the impact point. The 'Pralay' missile can carry different types of warheads and is designed to target a range of threats. It was developed by DRDO's Research Centre Imarat in partnership with other DRDO labs such as the Defence Research and Development Laboratory, Advanced Systems Laboratory, and several others. Industry partners like Bharat Dynamics Limited, Bharat Electronics Limited, and many MSMEs also contributed to the project. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praised DRDO, the Armed Forces, and the industry teams for the successful tests. He said the advanced missile system would further strengthen the country's defence capabilities. 'The @DRDO_India has conducted two consecutive successful flight tests of Pralay Missile on 28th and 29th July 2025 from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam island off the coast of Odisha," Singh also shared in a post on X. Dr Samir V. Kamat, Chairman of DRDO and Secretary of Defence R&D, congratulated all the teams involved. He said the successful completion of this phase of testing brings the missile system closer to being introduced into active service.

Does India have hypersonic missiles? Why are they so dangerous! China and Pakistan can only...
(File/Representational) Hypersonic missiles of India: India recently conducted Operation Sindoor where it attacked multiple terror camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Pakistan killing more than hundred terrorists. Various media reports indicated that India used its supersonic cruise missile BrahMos to target nine terror camps of Pakistan, and the precision and speed of the missile has surprised everyone. The successful launch of these supersonic missiles led to huge worries for China and Pakistan, the two possible enemies of India in a war scenario. However, going one step forward, do you know that India also has a hypersonic missile. Speed of Indian Hypersonic missiles Hypersonic missiles are one of the most powerful weapons that fly at a speed 5 times or more than the speed of sound (Mach 5 or more than 6,174 km/h). With India's Hypersonic missiles missile capabilities, India can hit Pakistan and China in minutes. DRDO successfully tests long-range hypersonic missile Only a few months back, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully conducted a flight trial of a long-range hypersonic missile off the Odisha coast. As per a report carried by news agency IANS, this hypersonic missile is designed to carry various payloads for ranges greater than 1,500 km for all the Indian Armed Forces wings. 'India has achieved a major milestone by successfully conducting a flight trial of long-range hypersonic missile from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island, off-the-coast of Odisha. This is a historic moment and this significant achievement has put our country in the group of select nations having capabilities of such critical and advanced military technologies. I congratulate Team @DRDO_India, our Armed Forces and the Industry for stupendous achievement,' Rajnath Singh said in his post. Notably, the missile has been indigenously developed by the laboratories of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Missile Complex, Hyderabad along with various other DRDO laboratories and Industry Partners. Also, Hypersonic missiles are characterised by their ability to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5, making them highly challenging for enemies to detect and intercept. (With inputs from agencies)
