India developing Radar-destroying Anti- Radiation Missiles

1. In design phase----- ARM, SR-SAM, LR-AAM (Novator KS 172 ?)

2. In testing phase------ MR-SAM (israeli collab.), Astra, Prahar.

3. Static validation------ Pinaka 2.

Well article also forgot Akash mk2 (Its also gonna be tested this year or may be next). New BMD interceptor named PDV is also gonna be tested this year and the interceptor of second stage (AD-1,2) to be tested from next year.

You are also forgetting Nirbhay....

The Serbians were able to fool HARMs using microwave ovens as decoys. Anti-radiation missiles only make sense against airborne targets as you can be reasonably confident that airborne emitters are not decoys.

Bro you did not post the remaining article which is equally important.

From the same LINK.




Therefore,

1. In design phase----- ARM, SR-SAM, LR-AAM (Novator KS 172 ?)

2. In testing phase------ MR-SAM (israeli collab.), Astra, Prahar.

3. Static validation------ Pinaka 2.

Great. Another test of LR-SAM in June.

Other projects being undertaken on priority basis by the DRDO are Long Range Air-to-Air Missile and Short Range Surface-to-Air Missile.

The flight test and production clearance of Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missiles is also on the cards.

The DRDO is also planning guided flight of Astra Missile from ground and air in the near future.

Operationalisation of the third regiment of BrahMos missile for Army, its integration with Su-30 MKI as also underwater trials from pontoon are also on the priority list.

DRDO is also working on early static validation trials of Pinaka MK-II rocket, with an extended range of 60 kms, along with user trials of its warhead.

The present range of the Pinaka rocket, launched in clusters of 12 from indigenously-built multi-barrel launcher, is 39-40 km in 40 seconds with 1.2 tons of high explosives.

Fitted with a variety of warheads like anti-tank mines and blast-cum-pre-fragmented high explosives, Pinaka can destroy an area of 350 sq kms.

Army has already raised two regiments of Pinaka and more are planned.

Flight trial of 'Prahar' missile as tactical battlefield surface-to-surface weapon system is also in the pipeline.
