DRDO conducts salvo launch of Pralay missiles off Odisha coast

The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) carried out a salvo launch of two indigenous Pralay missiles from the same launcher on Wednesday (December 31, 2025). The test was held off the coast of Odisha at around 10:30 in the morning. The flight tests were conducted as part of user evaluation trials.

According to the Ministry of Defence, both missiles followed the intended trajectory and met all mission objectives, as confirmed by tracking sensors deployed by the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur. Terminal events were validated through telemetry systems on ships positioned near the designated impact points.

Pralay is a solid propellant, quasi-ballistic missile equipped with state-of-the-art guidance and navigation systems to ensure high precision. The missile is capable of carrying multiple types of warheads to engage a wide range of targets.
