India's Pralay Missile Emerges as Top-Tier Short-Range Ballistic Weapon Globally

Short-range ballistic missiles have gained prominence in modern warfare, with Russia and Iran deploying them extensively in recent conflicts. Their ability to evade interception has made them increasingly valuable on the battlefield. India's Pralay missile has been developed as a conventional battlefield weapon, operating outside the country's nuclear doctrine. It is equipped with terminal-phase maneuverability and a solid-fuel propulsion system, enhancing its accuracy and responsiveness. These features have positioned Pralay among the most capable short-range ballistic missiles in the world.
