Explanation

The Pragati missile is an export variant of the indigenously developed 'Prahar' tactical missile system. It is classified as a short-range, surface-to-surface ballistic missile that utilizes solid fuel propulsion. Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the system is designed for high maneuverability and quick reaction times. It possesses all-weather, day and night operational launch capabilities, allowing it to function effectively under diverse environmental conditions. The missile is launched from a road-mobile launcher capable of carrying multiple missiles, providing high mobility and the ability to fire in salvo mode. With a range of approximately 60 to 170 km, it serves as a highly accurate battlefield support weapon system intended to bridge the gap between long-range rockets and larger ballistic missiles.
