Armenia’s Shows Interest In Indian Pralay Missile

Armenia reportedly wants to acquire the Pralay to counter the capability acquired by Azerbaijan through the purchase of LORA (Long Range Artillery) ballistic missiles developed by Israel Aerospace Industries. LORA is a theatre quasi-ballistic missile with a range of 400 kilometers and a CEP (Circular Error Probability) of 10 meters when using a combination of GPS and TV for terminal guidance.

The Pralay is a mobile canister-based surface-to-surface SRBM (Short-Range Ballistic Missile) with a range of 150-500 km. It was developed from the Prithvi AD missile of DRDO’s BMD system. The Pralay features a radio frequency (DSMAC—Digital Scene-Matching Area Correlation) seeker for terminal guidance. The missile is fitted with an indigenously developed Fused Silica Radar Dome (RADOME).

India-Armenia Relations

Armenia and India maintain active political ties. Effective cooperation exists between the two nations within international bodies.

After Armenia’s independence in 1991, Armenian-Indian relations were reestablished.

Diplomatic relations were established between the Republic of Armenia and India in 1992.

In 1999, the Indian Embassy in Yerevan began operations.

Armenia had already shown interest in Indian military hardware before the 2020 war.

In 2020, Armenia signed a USD 40 million arms deal with India for the supply of four SWATHI radars to detect the location of weapons.

In October 2022, India signed an agreement with Armenia to export missiles, rockets & ammunition.

The missiles will also include Indigenous Pinaka Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher.

India may also export its Man Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile (MPATGM) to Armenia.

Armenia can play an important role in the Indian-backed International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and the Iranian-backed Black Sea-Persian Gulf Transport Corridor.
