'Nag' anti tank missile ready for induction in Indian Army

New Delhi: India has gone one more step in missile testing during the ongoing tensions along the border between India and China. India successfully test-fired the final stage of the 'Nag' anti-tank guided missile with the warhead on Thursday.

Nag Missile developed by DRDO:

The missile was tested at Pokhran Field Firing Range in Rajasthan at 6:45 am. The Nag missile has been developed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO).

Nag Anti-Tank Guided Missile joins DRDO's list of indigenous warheads. In the last month and a half, DRDO has conducted at least 12 missile tests or system tests, which meet the combat requirements with the help of missiles.
