Question

Which missile developed by DRDO bridges the gap between the multi-barrel rocket system ‘Pinaka’ and the medium-range ballistic missile ‘Prithvi’?

• A. Dhanush
• B. Shaurya
• C. Prahar
• D. Agni-1

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Prahar

• Correct Answer: Option C) Prahar

• The question asks about a missile developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) that bridges the gap between the multi-barrel rocket system 'Pinaka' and the medium-range ballistic missile 'Prithvi'.

• Prahar is the correct answer because it was specifically designed to fill the operational gap between these two systems. Here's why:

• Pinaka is a multi-barrel rocket launcher system with a range of about 40-60 km.

• Prithvi is a medium-range ballistic missile with ranges of 150-350 km (depending on the variant).

• Prahar is a tactical missile system with a range of about 150 km, which sits between these two systems in terms of operational capability and range.

• Prahar provides quick-reaction battlefield support with high precision, allowing for short-range tactical strikes.

• The other options are incorrect:

• Dhanush is a naval variant of the Prithvi missile

• Shaurya is a canisterized version of the K-15 submarine-launched ballistic missile

• Agni-1 is a medium-range ballistic missile with a much longer range (700-1200 km)
