Anti Tank Guided Missile Nag successfully test fired twice

The missile incorporates an advanced passive homing guidance system and possesses high single-shot kill probability.

The indigenously-built third generation Anti Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) Nag, was successfully test-fired twice on Friday.

The fire-and-forget anti-tank missile successfully hit both targets under different ranges and conditions with very high accuracy, said reports.

The DRDO had test fired Nag missile even on June 13 in desert ranges of Rajasthan.

Nag was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP).

Nag missile has a land variant and an air launched variant. The land version has a range of upto 4 kms while the air launched version has a range of around 7-10 kms.
