These lethal Indian missiles can destroy Pakistan within seconds, these are made using…

In the past few years, India has built a strong security shield for itself and is constantly improving it. It has also improved its missile portfolio. As per a report by PIB, Rs 6.81 lakh crore has been set aside for security for 2025-26, out of which, Rs 1,48,722.80 crore will cover the purchase of weapons and missiles. Rs 31,277.20 crore is for research and development (R&D) and to advance and improve the defence structure.

India’s missiles and technology

To protect itself from threat like China and Pakistan, India has made several types of missiles. These missiles have been made for different purposes. The Indian Army has missiles that can strike from short range to long range. Some of these missiles attack the enemy by going near them, while others can hit the target from a very far distance. All of these have different roles in the security of the country.

Now India’s new missile technology has become so powerful that it forces the enemies to think many times.

Short-Range Tactical Missiles

India possesses a highly effective arsenal of short-range tactical ballistic missiles designed for swift and precise strikes at close range. These weapons are readily deployable in combat situations.

This includes the most powerful Prithvi-I missile and Prithvi-II missile. Prithvi-I and II have a range of 150 km and 350 km.

Prahar missile, whose range is about 150 km. Apart from this, the range of Prahar is about 500 km.

Not only this, Shaurya is also an amazing missile. The nuclear-capable hypersonic missile has a range of 700 km.

Ground-To-Air Missiles

India possesses a variety of surface-to-air missiles, such as the Akash, QRSAM (Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile), and VL-SRSAM, designed to intercept hostile aircraft, drones, and missiles.  These systems provide comprehensive aerial defence capabilities for both land and sea-based assets.

Akash Missile: SAM can be used for a longer range. It can destroy multiple targets simultaneously up to 25 km.

QRSAM (Quick Reaction SAM): It is a rapidly deployed missile and a range is up to 30 km. This missile protects important bases of the Indian Army.

VL-SRSAM: This missile is made for naval ships and ranges between 70-80 km. It protects against air threats at sea.

Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs)

India possesses a range of advanced anti-tank guided missiles. These include the Nag, with a 10-kilometre range, and others such as Helina, SANT, and MPATGM, boasting ranges between 2 and 20 km. Deployable from helicopters and infantry launchers, these missiles utilise imaging infrared guidance, laser targeting, and tandem warheads to overcome reactive armour.

Air-to-Air Missiles (AAMs)

AAMs have a range between 100 km to 130 km. These missiles are designed to be used in challenging environments. These missiles are loaded with electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM), which help the missile to avoid jamming and decoys.

Long-Range Ballistic And Cruise Missiles

India’s military strength majorly relies on its long-range ballistic missile program, including missiles such as – Agni series (Agni-I to Agni-V) with ranges from 700 km to over 5,500 km.  The Agni-V is an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

Additionally, India possesses subsonic cruise missiles capable of traveling 1,000-1,500 km, featuring a low-altitude flight path, nuclear capacity, and launch versatility.
