Development of nuclear weapons was followed by various missile programs in 70s with development of various ballistic, cruise, surface-to-air, anti- ballistic missile and orbital launch systems. India conducted its first nuclear test and initiated with Project Devil as an attempt to reverse engineer Soviet surface-to-air missile SA-2 Guideline ...
[6] [32] Given that the missile and canister were designated "LR-02," it's possible that this was India's second test. [33] Earlier, a report had suggested the test launch of a similar anti-ship ballistic missile that could target warships and aircraft carriers at long distances of over 1,000 km (620 mi). [34]

Second phase of Anti-ballistic Missile defense test with AD-1 missile. The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme is an initiative to develop and deploy a multi-layered ballistic missile defence system to protect India from ballistic missile attacks. It was launched in 2000 after the Kargil War by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government. [1]
Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large payload over long distances with high precision. Modern cruise missiles are capable of traveling at high subsonic, supersonic, or hypersonic speeds, are self-navigating, and are able to fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low-altitude trajectory.
Prahaar was test-fired successfully on 21 July 2011 from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur. [14] During the test, the missile traveled a distance of 150 km (93 mi) in about 250 seconds [3] meeting all launch objectives and struck a pre-designated target in the Bay of Bengal with a high degree of accuracy of less than 10 m (33 ft).
[14] [1] The missile is an amalgamation of technologies developed for exoatmospheric interceptor missile Prithvi Defence Vehicle (PDV) and the Prahaar tactical missile. [1] [15] [16] The project to develop Pralay was sanctioned in March 2015 with a budget of ₹ 332.88 crore (equivalent to ₹ 502 crore or US$57 million in 2023). [17]
