DRDO carries out salvo launch of Pralay missiles

1 JANUARY 2026

The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) carried out a salvo launch of two indigenous Pralay missiles from the same launcher.
Salvo means a number of weapons released from one or more aircraft in quick succession.
The flight-tests were conducted as part of user evaluation trials.
Pralay is an indigenously developed, short-range, surface-to-surface ballistic missile designed for conventional precision strikes.
According to the Ministry of Defence, both missiles followed the intended trajectory and met all mission objectives, as confirmed by tracking sensors deployed by the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur.
Terminal events were validated through telemetry systems on ships positioned near the designated impact points.
