‘Doomsday’ China and Pakistan trembled with the sound of missile, enemy in panic due to DRDO’s salvo launch, why is the missile dangerous?

Pralay Missile Salvo Launch: On the last day of the year, India has made a double blast which has shocked the world. Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has indigenously developed ‘Pralaya’ Demonstrated its strength by successfully testing the missile. This was no ordinary test; This is a ‘salvo launch’ Which has created panic in the enemy camp.

India achieved this feat at around 10:30 am from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha. DRDO fired two ‘Doomsday’s from the same launcher at a very short interval of time. Missiles fired. Both the missiles followed their pre-planned path and successfully accomplished all the mission objectives.

What is ‘salvo launch’?

In the language of defense experts, ‘salvo launch’ Means simultaneous attack of several weapons or attack with very short intervals between launches. In this test, DRDO fired two missiles one after the other from the same mobile launcher. In war situations, this technology proves to be a game-changer.

Why is salvo launch dangerous?

When two or more missiles move simultaneously towards the same or different targets, it becomes impossible for the enemy air defense system to intercept them all simultaneously. If the enemy tries to intercept one missile, the other missile will hit its target. This ‘dual attack’ Has the capability to destroy enemy bunkers, airbases and strategic targets in the blink of an eye.

‘Doomsday’ Missile Features

‘Doomsday’ The missile is a great example of India’s self-reliance. It is completely based on indigenous technology. Its main features make it among the best missiles in the world. Let us know one by one what are these features?

• Quasi-Ballistic Missile: Doomsday is a ‘quasi-ballistic’ It is a missile. In simple terms, conventional ballistic missiles travel on a fixed path (parabolic), which is easy for enemy radar to predict. However, ‘Doomsday’ Such a quasi-ballistic missile is capable of changing its course during flight. It can escape capture at the last moment, making it devastating for the enemy. It is extremely difficult to stop or shoot it down in the air.
• Solid Propellant: This missile uses solid propellant. While liquid fuel missiles take time to refuel on the battlefield, solid fuel missiles are ‘ready to fire’ Are in mode. These can be launched in a very short time, which is very important for offensive operations.
• High Precision: The Pralay missile is equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation and guidance system. The sensors and computers installed in it help it to aim accurately at the target. During the test off the Odisha coast, tracking sensors deployed near the impact point and ships confirmed that the missiles hit their targets with high accuracy.
• Capable of carrying a variety of warheads: This missile can carry different types of warheads as per requirement. Whether the enemy’s target is a concrete bunker or soldiers deployed in an open field, ‘Doomsday’ Can destroy all types of targets. This is the reason why the echo of its test has been heard even to the ears of the enemies.

ready to join the army

This test is called ‘User Evaluation Trials’ Was part of. This means that the development of the missile has been completed and now the armed forces (users) are formally testing it to include it in their arsenal. Soon it will join the Indian defense fleet.

Who has created ‘Doomsday’ missile?

Representatives of the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army witnessed this historic test. DRDO Chairman Dr. Sameer V. Kamat said that this success shows that the system is now completely ready for induction by the users (armed forces). ‘Doomsday’ The missile has been developed by Research Center Building (RCI) in Hyderabad.

Apart from this, many other DRDO laboratories like DRDL, ASL, ARDE, and HEMRL have also made significant contributions in this. The responsibility of production and system integration has been entrusted to Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). This is a great example of collaboration between government and private industries.

Defense Minister congratulated DRDO

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO, Indian Army, Air Force and the industries involved on this achievement. He said that ‘salvo launch’ The success of ‘Doomsday’ Reliability of the missile has been established. He has described it as India’s most important step in the defense sector.

Why fear in China and Pakistan?

This test, which took place on 31 December 2025, marks a major change in India’s defense policy. India is now developing not only defensive but also offensive and precision strike capabilities to secure its borders. ‘Doomsday’ The successful salvo launch has given a clear message to neighbors like China and Pakistan that India is fully capable and ready to protect its sovereignty.
