China or Pakistan will not even dare to take out their tanks or armoured vehicles in the battlefield because India is preparing their death. DRDO is going to make a new, more dangerous, advanced and fast anti-tank guided missile system Nag-Mk2 for the Indian Army.
Recently, during an interview, DRDO Chief Dr. Sameer V. Kamat confirmed this. He said that Nag-Mk2 will be much better than its old version. It will be lightweight, work in all weather conditions, and will be equipped with fire and forget technology. It will have a lock-on option after launching the missile. That means once the target is hit by the missile, it will not be able to escape by running anywhere.
After being equipped with these technologies, it will be very difficult to escape from the attack of Nag-Mk2. Its range is being increased. Along with this, its performance too. This time the Helina missile program will also be included in this anti-tank guided missile warfare system. Also, it will have a jet vane control system. This will further improve its maneuverability and accuracy. Testing of this warfare system will begin soon.
The full name of the old version was Nag Missile Carrier (NAMICA). It is used by both the Army and the Air Force. The weight of one missile is 43 kilograms. Its length is 6.1 feet. Its missiles are fitted with tandem-charge HEAT i.e. 8 kilograms of explosives that can blow up bunkers, tanks, armored vehicles.
Missiles like Nag have a range of 500 metres to 4 kilometres. Helina i.e. Dhruvastra has a range of 7 to 10 kilometres. Apart from this, Sant missile has a range of 15-20 kilometres. Its missiles have different ranges, which fly at different speeds. They can also change direction mid-way.
