Understated as usual.

Actual for ballistic trajectory will be about 230Km for basic model.



But given it has MINS and is basically a derivative of a aerodynamic missile for endosphric flight, this beast is capable of doing what Prithvi has done all long, Viz, glide on the way down and keep level flight at 40 Km altitude, and it will easily do 400 Km. Just Mk-II software change.



A.k.a the original APJ Kalam project to convert a SAM into a theater ballistic missile; in this a case an uber form of SAM translated into a TBM.

If services ever get to order this missle then it might make something like Kargil or Siachin intrusion very difficult for Pakistan. It can be long range super bullet to take out any post? Using RLG INS, I assume that accuracy should be around 100m or so (excluding GPS etc),



IIRC SAMs of Soviet era had secondary SS role. Even US standard missile - SAM has secondary anti ship role.
