What are air-to-ground ballistic Air Lora missiles? Indian Air Force may procure these from…, these can…

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has taken several major steps to increase its strength and is still working rapidly in this direction. The IAF is considering adding a new and powerful missile to its fleet. This is the Air Lora missile made by Israel Aerospace Industries, which is an air-to-ground ballistic missile. This missile can take India’s air power and defense capability to new heights.

Why this powerful missile?

India used Israel’s Rampage missile against Pakistan in the recent conflict. After its success, the Air Force felt the need for a missile with long range, accurate target and one that could escape the enemy’s defense system. That’s when the option of Air Lora missile came in front of India.

What are its special features?

Air Lora is a missile made for deep strike. This missile can target enemy command centers, airports, naval ships present on the seashore. Its weight is about 1600 kg. It comes with two types of warheads, one which causes damage by explosion and the other can penetrate strong targets. This deadly missile travels at supersonic speed and can cover a distance of up to 400 km. This means that the Indian Air Force planes can attack even while staying away from the enemy’s defense systems. Its accuracy is so great that it hits the target within a radius of less than 10 meters. The range of Brahmos is also around 400 km.

What is ‘fire and forget’ technique?

After firing it, the pilot gets the facility to move away immediately, so that the enemy cannot retaliate and the safety of the aircraft remains. This missile will be capable of carrying out fast and accurate attacks on targets located on the LAC with Pakistan or China. The tremendous range of the missile is one of its biggest strengths.
