Countering China: India moves towards creating rocket force with more 'Pralay' missiles

对标中国：印度正努力用更多“普拉雷”导弹打造火箭军

NEW DELHI: In a significant step towards creating its own rocket force to thwart the threat from the northern frontier, India is planning to acquire around 250 more Pralay ballistic missiles.

The defence ministry is likely to order two more units of the Pralay ballistic missiles worth over Rs 7,500 crore, sources told news agency ANI.

"Two more units of the Pralay ballistic missiles are going to be acquired for the defence forces, which are on their way towards creating a rocket force including assets of all three forces," defence sources said.

In December 2022, the defence ministry had cleared a proposal to procure around 120 Pralay ballistic missiles, which will be deployed along the borders with China and Pakistan.

新德里：印度计划再采购约250枚普拉雷弹道导弹，又向着打造自己的火箭部队、挫败北部边境威胁迈出了重要一步。

消息人士告诉亚洲国际新闻通讯社，印度国防部可能会再采购两套价值超过750亿卢比的普拉雷弹道导弹。

国防部消息人士称：“印度将为国防部队再采购两套普拉雷弹道导弹，印度正朝着组建火箭部队的方向前进。”

2022年12月，印度国防部批准了采购约120枚普拉雷弹道导弹的提案，这些导弹将部署在印度和中国与巴基斯坦的边界线上。

Work is also on to increase the range of these missiles by another few hundred kilometres to give a stronger capability to forces, the sources added.

Both China and Pakistan have ballistic missiles which are meant for tactical roles.

The missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation is being further developed, the sources said.

A quasi-ballistic surface-to-surface missile, 'Pralay' can defeat interceptor missiles and has the ability to change its path after covering a certain range midair.

'Pralay' is powered by a solid propellant rocket motor and other new technologies. The missile guidance system includes state-of-the-art navigation and integrated avionics.

The missile would be first inducted into the Indian Air Force and would be followed by the Indian Army.

消息人士补充说，印度还在努力将这些导弹的射程增加几百公里，希望进一步增强部队的作战能力。

中国和巴基斯坦都拥有战术弹道导弹。

消息人士称印度国防研究与发展组织（ISRO）负责研发的导弹仍在进一步升级中。

“普拉雷”是一种准弹道地对地导弹，可以击败拦截导弹，并且能在空中行进一定距离后改变前进路径。

“普拉雷”由固体推进剂火箭发动机和其他新技术提供动力。导弹制导系统包括最先进的导航和综合航空电子设备。

该导弹会优先在印度空军内完成部署，随后再进入印度陆军。

Congratulations ISRO. Bharat right from Ancient times at forefront of Space Research. Its only after Violent Brutal Islamic Invasions that survival became prime and everything else took back seat. Now again Sanatan Dharma followers working hard to Regain Lost Glory

祝贺印度国防研究与发展组织。印度从古至今一直站在太空研究的最前沿。只有在暴力、野蛮的入侵之后，才把生存列为第一大事，暂时搁置其他发展。现在达摩的信众努力重拾昔日的荣耀。

CONGRATULATIONS ISRO, founded in 2014 after Modiji came in to power. Khangress couldn´t even dream about ISRO.

祝贺印度国防研究与发展组织，它是在莫迪上台后于2014年成立的。这种机构国大党连做梦都不敢想吧。

thank Modi for setting up DRDO and ISRO, IITs and IIMs and creating Indian defence program after coming to power.

感谢莫迪上台后成立了印度国防研究与发展组织、印度理工学院和印度管理学院，并制定了印度国防计划。

There is a popular story. There was a servant who was hired for full day job. He used to sleep the whole day, and once in a while he used to do some work. Whenever asked for updates, he used to count those work which he did but remaining all days and weeks and months and years, he slept on duty. Nehru was like that...and people like you keep counting his minismal work instead of his sleep period, ignorance towards India and losses incurred.

有一个广为流传的故事。从前有一个人找了一份全天的工作。他常常整天睡觉，偶尔干点活。每次别人问他工作进展时，他就数一数他做了什么，但还是日复一日、周复一周、月复一月、年复一年地偷懒睡大觉。尼赫鲁就是这种人…而你们这样的人一直对他那些微不足道的工作念念不忘，对他睡懒觉、对印度的无知和造成的损失却绝口不提。

Good. If your family didnt approve these things what the use of talking about? And making full use of these institutions is like using the airforce in 1962. Hmm...

好。如果你的家人不同意，谈论这些又有什么用呢？我们既然有这些机构就要充分挖掘潜力，就像1962年的印度空军一样。

Modi is himself going to guide the rockets without him nothing is possible. Even your exams he will whisper the answers in your ears.

莫迪会亲自引导火箭，没了莫迪什么都不可能实现。就连考试，他也会在你耳边悄悄告诉你答案。

Alok Kumar•10736• Raj•10 days ago

Dhakkan.... (a) these news are posted by Godi media to project Modi as strong leader in eyes of dud people like you and (b) Modi is not bothered about China but his press posting these are either informing China or creating false hope..... All he can do is do Jhule Jhule with i in Ahmedabad and take photos... He's most dangerous PM in so far as Indian security is concerned

(a) 这些新闻是印度媒体发布的，目的就是要把莫迪塑造成你们这些笨蛋眼中的伟大领袖。

(b) 莫迪并不担心中国，但他的媒体发布这些新闻要么是给中国通风报信，要么是在制造虚假的希望.....

就印度的国家安全方面而言，他是最危险的总理。

Why release all these sensitive information to the enemy? What are you trying to prove?

为什么要把这些敏感信息泄露给敌人？你们是想证明什么呢？

Anil•3931• Kaliamma•Rajkot•10 days ago

it is in a way deterrent for enemies to strike Bharat first. It is also a great tool for attacking a terror country.

在某种程度上，这是对敌人率先进犯印度的威慑，也是打击恐 怖主义国家的好工具。

While China and Russia have already deployed hypersonic missiles, with US trying to dev, Indians think talking of subsonic obsolete rockets are India top secret sensitive information.

虽然中国和俄罗斯已经部署了高超音速导弹，美国也在努力研发，但印度人却还觉得谈论老黄历的亚音速火箭是印度的最高机密信息。

We need to build rocket force which can completely destroy their major industrial cities in the event we are attacked by them so that they learn a lesson which they wouldn't forget for long time. This is the only way to tackle China which is bent upon to create trouble for all its neighbours.

我们需要打造一只火箭部队，这样的话只要他们进攻我们，我们就可以彻底摧毁他们的主要工业城市，这样他们才能得到毕生难忘的教训。这是对付中国的唯一办法，中国一心想着给邻国制造麻烦。

Investing into indian defense industry has multiple benefits. First is the sovereign security - we don't have to look towards anyone in case of increased needs. And then there is economy - the money spent remains in the country only, circulating further in the domestic markets.

投资印度国防工业有多重好处。首先是保障了主权安全——如果需求增加，我们也不必指望别人。再来是经济问题——花出去的钱留在了国内，在国内市场进一步流通。

现在的印度人被莫迪及其团伙的谎言毒害不浅。国大党为印度做了很多：印度理工学院、印度空间研究组织、印度海军的两艘航空母舰、米格苏布拉莫斯导弹、光辉战机、阿琼坦克。莫迪做了什么呢？

Government’s job should be simple. Let the army make all tactical decisions, and just cater to the requirements that army experts recommend, kee egoistic and unqualified politicians away from the decission making process. Modi government seems to have been more successful in this regard (kee their unqualified politicians away) compared to any previous Congress-led government.

政府的工作应该简单一些。所有的战术决定都由军队拍板，只需满足军队专家的建议，禁止自私和无能的政客参与决策。跟国大党领导的历届政府相比，莫迪政府在这方面（无能政客无权干涉）似乎更成功。
