Popaye Missile: Popeye, manufactured by Israel, is a medium-range conventional missile with a range of approximately 90 km. Is.
SPICE (Smart Precise Impact and Cost Effective- SPICE): SPICE Guidance Kit-2000 To 'Standard 2000-pound MK 84 'un-guided bomb' Has been conducted on. This converts it into a smart guided air-to-surface weapon with a strike range of 60 km. Till then.
- it 'Fire and Forget' Type of weapon, which can automatically engage its target after launch only through its navigation system.

Crystal Maze 2

this one Stand-off Range Technology with air-to-surface but to kill ballistic missile is, which ROCKS It is also known as and it has been manufactured by Israel.
This missile was launched by the Indian Air Force Sukhoi-30 fighter jet Has been launched from.
in this missile Popeye and Spice Many technologies have been incorporated and these missiles can be used balakot attack Was done in.

features

this missile distance more than 250 kilometers Has the ability to hit the target located at.
this from long distance attack on fortified positions Is capable of doing.
This missile can be used in war scenarios accuracy and reliability Therefore, it is a better choice for missions involving 'surgical' precision.
use of this missile diverse combat situations which increases its operational flexibility and effectiveness.
it Effectively in areas deprived of GPS Works from. For example, India had to face this during the Kargil war.
It can also penetrate areas protected by air defense systems.
This system facilitates the explosion, allowing it to reach the surface and Strong underground facilities targeting both Makes it suitable for.

Reason for naming ballistic missile

Ballistic missiles follow a ballistic flight path, which involves three phases of flight-
- First stage or boost stage: The solid-fuel propels the missile's engine upward, allowing it to rapidly gain velocity and altitude when entering the dense layers of the Earth's atmosphere.
- Second phase of flight (Unpowered Phase): It takes place in the upper layer of the Earth's atmosphere, where the missile travels on its pre-determined path without the power of its engine.
  - This mid-way stage It is known as (Mid-course Phase) and during this time it moves on a horizontal path.
  - During launch the missile reaches space or the upper atmosphere, where it faces minimal resistance.
- Third and final step: In this phase the missile comes back down into the Earth's atmosphere and hits its target as per the instructions of its system.

Strategic Forces Command (SFC)

It is also sometimes known as the Strategic Nuclear Command, which is India's Nuclear Command Authority Is part of.

importance for india

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has successfully tested this missile and a target has been set to manufacture it in large numbers under the 'Make in India' initiative. The move demonstrates India's dedication to achieving self-reliance in defense manufacturing.
