About Pinaka Rocket Test Firing:

Test Firing of Guided Pinaka
  1. The guided Pinaka has been combinedly developed by Pune-based Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), Hyderabad-based Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL).
  2. The Pinaka Rocket Mark-II, which evolved from Pinaka Mark-I, is equipped with a navigation, guidance and control kit and has been transformed to a Guided Pinaka. This conversion has facilitated the enhancement of its strike range and considerably improved its accuracy.
  3. The rocket was fired from a multi-barrel rocket launcher (MBRL). The rocket launcher can fire 12 rockets with 1.2 tonne of high explosives within 44 seconds and destroy a target area of four sq km at a time.

  4. The radars, electro-optical and telemetry systems at Chandipur tracked and monitored the vehicle all through the flight-path.
  5. The quick reaction time and high rate of fire of the system gives an edge to the Army during a low-intensity conflict situation.
  6. The weaponโ€™s capability to incorporate several types of warheads makes it deadly for the enemy as it can even destroy their solid structures and bunkers.
  7. The performance of an earlier version of Pinaka was lauded during the Kargil War, where it was successful in neutralising enemy positions on mountain tops. The Mark-II version of the rocket is expected to be inducted in the armed forces very soon.

Pinaka has already been inducted into the Indian Army.
