Watch: Indian Navy Warship Launches Ant-Ship Missile; Hits And Sinks Decommissioned Minesweeper
INS Kora
INS Kora, a Kora-class guided missile corvette of the Indian Navy, fired an anti-ship missile today in the Bay of Bengal earlier today.
The missile — Kh-35 Uran — was fired to the limit of its range (maximum range).
The target ship used for this test, decommissioned minesweeper INS Cannanore, was hit with “precise accuracy,” the Indian Navy said.
“Target ship severely damaged & in flames,” the Navy added.
This missile test comes just days after INS Prabal fired an anti-ship missile. The Chamak-class missile boat fired the missile in the Arabian Sea.
The warship which fired the missile today was inducted into the Indian Navy in 1998. Designed in-house by the Indian Navy, the warship has a displacement of 1,350 tonnes. INS Kirch, INS Kulish and INS Karmuk are the three other warships of this class currently in service with the Indian Navy.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
