A new rocket to strengthen the three forces!?
Missiles can travel as fast as sub-sonic missiles and are capable of hitting targets. In order to increase the power of the defense forces, all the three defense forces are now to acquire long-range ballistic missiles capable of hitting targets up to 1,000 km away. The long-range ballistic missiles are being developed indigenously by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). These missiles are capable of hitting targets at speeds similar to sub-sonic missiles.
"The government is mulling a plan to supply the ballistic missiles. The review is in the final stage. Once these missiles are available, the tri-forces will have the ability to use sub-sonic cruise missiles to strike targets," defense sources said. About two years ago, the central government gave permission to add the missile to two other defense services.
Subsonic cruise missiles and supersonic BrahMos missiles will be a major force in the arsenal of indian forces. Missiles will also be part of the increasingly powerful rocket force. Approval was also given recently for inducting medium-range ballistic missiles into the defense forces. Defense sources say that after the induction of Paraleh missiles into the forces, an integrated special force may also be formed.
Meanwhile, the range of BrahMos missiles has also been significantly increased. Tests of these upgraded missiles are also said to be conducted in the future.
