ANAG – Air-to-Air Missile

BHELINA – Air-to-Land variant of NAG

CNAMICA – Air-launched version of NAG

DTrishul – Anti-tank missile platform

Answer:

B. HELINA – Air-to-Land variant of NAG

Read Explanation:

  • Correct Answer: Option B - HELINA – Air-to-Land variant of NAG

  • Option A: NAG – Air-to-Air Missile This is incorrect. NAG is actually an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It is primarily designed to destroy heavily armored tanks, not as an air-to-air missile.

  • Option B: HELINA – Air-to-Land variant of NAG This is correct. HELINA (Helicopter-Launched NAG) is indeed the helicopter-launched version of the NAG missile system. It's designed to be launched from helicopters like the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv and can target ground-based armored vehicles.

  • Option C: NAMICA – Air-launched version of NAG This is incorrect. NAMICA (NAg MIssile CArrier) is not an air-launched version but a land-based carrier vehicle equipped with NAG missiles. It's a modified BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle that carries and launches NAG missiles from the ground.

  • Option D: Trishul – Anti-tank missile platform This is incorrect. Trishul is not an anti-tank missile but was developed as a short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system designed to counter low-flying aircraft. The project was officially closed in 2008.
