Correct Answer: Option A) 1 and 2 only
The NAG (NAG Anti-Tank Guided Missile) is an important indigenous anti-tank missile system developed by India.
It uses Imaging Infrared (IIR) guidance: True. The NAG missile employs Imaging Infrared (IIR) guidance, which allows it to seek and track targets based on their heat signatures. This "fire and forget" capability enables the missile to autonomously track targets after launch, making it highly effective against tanks and armored vehicles.
Its operational range is between 500 meters and 5 kilometers: True. The NAG missile is designed to operate within this effective range (500m to 5km), making it suitable for both short and medium-range engagements against armored targets.
It is developed jointly by DRDO and Russia: False. The NAG missile is an indigenous Indian missile system developed solely by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) as part of India's Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP). It is not a joint development with Russia.
