Pinaka Multi Barrel Rocket Launching System

TARGET said:
MBRLs are mostly used as area denial weapons, i.e., they will wipe out everything in a 1 km by 1 km area. For precision strikes, we do have enough missiles above the 300 km range. A missile similar to the MTC 300 is going to be NASM MR. We can make a land attack version using the same missile.

We do not have ATCAM equivalent missile right now, and NASM based missile won't be ATCAM equivalent.

I was comparing NASM MR with MTC 300 ...ATCAM is a 300 km range missile, and DRDO is working on similar missiles. we may need to wait and see the specs of newly designed missiles of Pinka.

That is not how you compare. NASM MR is comparable to Harpoon which are with turbojet engine. ATACMS uses solid rocket propellant and its twice as big. There isn't much logic in adding subsonic anti-ship missiles to a rocket launching system, as both are used for very different purposes.

For mobile naval defense. Pinaka compatible anti-ship missiles would be a huge seller in Vietnam, Phillipines and even taiwan. A cheap 300km option for coastal defense. It would be pretty useful andaman and even pagongtso lake against chinese patrol boats. Plus the pinaka platform is quite flexible and mobile. If not nasm mr something cheaper like the yj-83 or the brazillian mtm-av based missile. That is smaller in size can go subsonice and reach 290+km. With mtcr requirements so export friendly.

Thats coastal defence missile nothing to do with MBRL like Pinaka.

Flexibility of Pinaka will have to do with the role adjacent to rockets. You can always add a Anti ship missile but thats mostly for marketing. Its either or situation.

I compared NASM MR with MTC 300 which is a Brazilian Cruise missile
