New Delhi: The strength of the troops engaged in the security of the country on the border is about to increase, as the anti-tank missile Nag (Nag anti-tank missile) is ready to join the army. On Thursday morning, the Defense Research and Development Organization conducted the last successful trial of the missile in the Pokhran range. Earlier, DRDO had tested Stand-off Anti-Tank Missile (SANT) on October 19 at a distance of 10 km from Balasore Testing Range, Odisha.
Significantly, India will no longer have to depend on the United States or Israel for anti-tank weapons. Significantly, after the escalation of tension with the Chinese army in Ladakh, India had to buy 200 Spike anti-tank missiles from Israel in an emergency. The need for anti-tank missiles was further heightened when the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) deployed a large number of tanks, rockets and artillery in Aksai Chin.
The missile is ready to join the army after 10 successful trials
According to senior government officials, the Nag anti-tank missile has completed 10 successful trials. So this missile is now ready to join the Indian Army. In the last test at Pokhran range at 6.45 a.m. on Thursday, the missile was fired at a faulty tank using a live warhead. The missile was launched with an infrared red detection device.
DRDO is constantly testing
For the past one month, DRDO has been engaged in rapid missile tests. However, only one 1000 km range sub-sonic cruises Nirbhay had some problems during this time. It is hoped that this missile can also be tested in the next few months. Because the technical problem found in its booster has been detected and fixed.
