  3. Ajai sir

    I have a querry

    Yesterday I saw a something like a canister launch system for Prithvi missile system which has a tube which was around 7-8 meters in length and a width of 1 meter.Only thing it was not mounted on a Tatra vehicle but a Tata vehicle.

    If this is canister launch system, can we really say India has configured the Prithvi for canister launch. Please reply

    I just want to know that whether India has developed
