Nag Mark 2 Anti-Tank Missile Successfully Tested

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully tested the Nag Mark 2 missile, an anti-tank guided missile. The tests took place at the Pokhran testing range in Rajasthan.  

Here's a simplified explanation:

What is the Nag Mark 2 missile? A third-generation anti-tank guided missile made in India.  

What does "fire-and-forget" mean? It means that after the missile is launched, it finds its target on its own without needing further guidance from the operator.

Where were the tests conducted? At the Pokhran field range in Rajasthan.  

What were the results of the tests? The missile successfully hit all of its targets during three separate tests, at both the longest and shortest distances it is designed to travel.  

What is the Nag Missile Carrier (NAMICA)? A vehicle that carries and launches the Nag missile. The Nag Mark 2 has been successfully integrated with NAMICA Version 2.  

Why are these tests important?

  • They show that India is improving its ability to fight against tanks.

  • They support India's goal of being self-reliant in defense manufacturing ("Atmanirbhar Bharat").  


What are the key features of the Nag Mark 2?

  • Fire-and-forget technology: This allows the missile to hit its target without needing further guidance after launch.  


  • Versatile performance: It can destroy modern tanks and other armored vehicles, even those with special armor ("explosive reactive armor" or ERA).  


  • Platform compatibility: It can be launched from the NAMICA vehicle.  


Key Terms/Acronyms:

  • DRDO: Defence Research and Development Organisation (the organization that developed the missile).  

  • NAMICA: Nag Missile Carrier.

  • ERA: Explosive Reactive Armour.

Key Facts:

  • The Nag Mark 2 is a third-generation anti-tank guided missile.  

  • The tests were supervised by senior Indian Army officers.  

  • The tests showed the missile can hit targets at both maximum and minimum range.  

  • "Atmanirbhar Bharat" means "Self-Reliant India."  

  • Pokhran is a testing range in Rajasthan.  

  • Rajnath Singh is India's Defence Minister.  

In simple terms:

India has successfully tested a new anti-tank missile called the Nag Mark 2. This missile can find its target on its own after being launched, making it very effective. The tests show that India is making progress in developing its own weapons and becoming less reliant on buying them from other countries
