India has successfully test fired an anti-tank Nag guided missile from the army’s field firing range near Hyderabad.
During the test fire, the Nag missile successfully hit a moving target in 3.2 seconds, according to the Hindu, quoting the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
Military scientists at the DRDO conducted a similar test last week during which the Nag missile launched from a Namica tracked missile carrier and destroyed a stationary object in three seconds at the army’s firing range.
The missile is equipped with an active imaging infra-red seeker and a highly potent HEAT (high-explosive anti-tank) warhead, and is suitable for day and night operations.
The Nag missile is scheduled to enter Indian Army service after completing final validation trials, which are scheduled for July 2010.
