Interesting...


So as per this the firepower element of the Integrated Rocket Forces will be chiefly based around four platforms:

1) BrahMos Block-II/Block-III/ER -- 290 to 800 km range; Ramjet
2) Nirbhay/ITCM/LRLACM -- 1000 km range; Turbofan
3) Pralay -- 500 km range; Solid rocket
4) ??? -- 1500km range; Solid Rocket?

I'm not sure as to what 1,500-km class ballistic missile is in development? Can't be the Agni-Prime as that's a strategic platform, not tactical.

Perhaps a ground-launched land-attack version of this, maybe:

looks to be similar range of Akash missiles. Not sure what this new program wants to accomplish

Cost effectiveness at stand-off range.

Can look at glide bomb use/relevancy in the US conflicts (post cold war) and also current RUS-UKR war.
