India had worsened the condition of Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. Indian forces not only destroyed the terrorist hideouts but also gave a befitting reply to the Pakistan Army. During this period India used many modern weapons. India has many deadly missiles which can destroy enemy targets in a moment. Similarly, there is a missile, whose name is Nag. Nag is an anti-tank missile.
Nag is a very modern third generation missile, which automatically recognizes and engages the target. The important thing is that unlike other missiles, it does not require guidance. The snake identifies the tank by its temperature. It has the ability to sense heat signatures. Therefore, it is not affected by weather or dust or storm. It can achieve the target in any weather.
Why is Nag different and dangerous from other missiles?
The biggest feature of Nag is that this missile attacks the roof of the tank, where the armor is the weakest. It is considered very effective in destroying modern tanks. India has successfully tested this missile. However, it has not been used in any war yet. Nag can be fired from the ground as well as from the air. When fired from the ground, its range is about 4 kilometers. Whereas during aerial fire, the range is 7 to 10 kilometers.
How much does one Nag missile cost?
The first successful test of Nag was done in the year 1990. After this, it was tested again in July 2019 in Pokhran, Rajasthan. Apart from this, separate trials were also held in 2017 and 2018. According to the report of DD News, DRDO has developed Nag missile at a cost of Rs 300 crore. This missile is part of DRDO’s Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme. Because of this the strength of the Indian forces has increased further.
