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.
