Dhanush missile: All you need to know

-
Yesterday, I have attended a study tour at  Defence Research & Development Organisation(DRDO), Chandipur, Balasore, Odisha. Where i know a lot about missiles. I am going to share with you about One of them Which is Dhanush. So let us know some of it.

Dhanush is a naval version of the nuclear-capable ballistic missile Prithvi which has been developed for the Indian Navy. The Missile was test-fired successfully on 5 October 2012, on 23 November 2013, 9 April 2015, and 24 November 2015 from Indian Navy ship INS Subhadra (P51) in the Bay of Bengal off the Orissa coast. The missile gives the Indian Navy capability to strike enemy targets with great precision. It is one of the five missile developed by Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP).




Here are key points you need to know:

1. The Strategic Force Command (SFC) of the defence force organised the launch at the Chadipur Integrated Test Range in Odisha.


2. Dhanush has a tested range of around 350 kilometre where it can carry a payload of 1,000 kilograms. It can also carry a 500-kilogram warhead for 600 kilometres and a 250-kilogram warhead for 750 kilometres.


3. The missile is a surface-to-surface variant of the Prithvi III missiles and can also be used as a ship-to-ship warhead, capable of blasting any naval threat.

4. The 8.5-metre long missile has been successfully test-fired thrice before - on October 5 2012, November 23 2013 and April 9 2015.

5. The missile can be used as an anti-naval fleet weapon as well as for destroying land-based targets depending on the range.

6. The word 'dhanush' is a Sanskrit word for a bow. The missile is so named because of its precision and impact.

7. The missile will soon be commissioned to the Indian Navy, which will further strengthen the Naval fleet of the country.

8.  The Dhanush missile can be used as an anti-ship weapon as well as for destroying land targets depending on the range.

What is Happiness?

Hi Guys, After a long time I am writing this post. Actually, I am busy in my studies But something happened with me which I want to share with You. Today I understood what is happiness. Today at 1:30 PM, I was looking for a food stall on a road. I was very Hungry because I didn't have breakfast. I couldn't find any shop and suddenly I saw a cake shop. I know this is not the right place where a person can go when they hungry. But I had no choice, So I decided to go. When I was entering into shop, a girl having age 6-7 yrs stopped me and beg some money.

Many folks get confused between these two terms which are associated with the Web. Are they really same? First thing first. HTML is a Language while HTTP is a Protocol. Doesn’t make much sense..? it’s okay! We’ll discuss it in more detail. HTML ( H yper t ext M arkup L anguage) is a language for marking the normal text so that it gets converted into hypertext. Again, not so clear. Basically, HTML tags (e.g. “<head>”, “<body>” etc.) are used to tag or mark normal text so that it becomes hypertext and several hypertext pages can be interlinked with each other resulting in the Web. Please note that the HTML tags are used to help render web pages as well in the Browser. On the contrary, HTTP ( H yper t ext T ransfer P rotocol) is a protocol for transferring the hypertext pages from Web Server to Web Browser. For exchanging web pages between Server and Browser, an HTTP session is setup using protocol methods (e.g. GET, POST etc.). This would be ...
