Indian Missile Transporter Erectors and Launchers (TEL)
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
Good job they have made the TEL early. With our vast coastline we should be looking for shoreline silo stations in some regions. Mainly for the BoB & adjacent IOR part & ANC.
IMO, the Prahar 8x8 launcher has been developed and modified extensively for the IA. You put anything on 8x8 and IA will be very happy with it.
This launcher has been modified for launching MRSAM-IA.
Now, it is also being modified to be used as launcher for LR-LACM. The same configuration will probably be used to launch Pralay.
QRSAM might also be using the same launcher.
this too hehe, maybe if they induct those large loitering ammo in future it will also be released from 8x8 truck.
While we are at TEL related stuff etc, there was an interesting advert a while ago, which I did not post before. It was interesting.
I hope @_Anonymous_ is reading this update. I told him last year that Shaurya that was going into serial production was with extended range. People then doubted me. But now it's very apparent. No reason for anyone to doubt now, IMO.
Shaurya is mainly for a tactical nuke role against a time bound target of adversary per what our doctrine allow for?
I mean a conventional warfare, the reach of long range was regarded upto 300-500km. Maybe that has shifted to 1000km now, ie where you can justify using a tactical nuke as preemptive measure against something impending high threat, and almost certainly that needs to be in a very time bound manner because there will be very short turnaround time from intelligence to decision making OODA loop.
Just curious how the forces command could use it and why we do not build a large conventional ballistic arsenal yet despite 3 front situation, instead leaving everything on few agnis deterrence.

It does look like a TEL. But I can't identify it.
The erector has mount set up for a cannister launched missile. Round cannister not a rectangular one. Also, no plume deflector so cold launched missile.
Maybe SMART?
