Nag is a "fire and forget"
anti-tank guided missile with a range of 4 to 6 kilometers. Nag can be mounted
on an infantry combat vehicle known as"NAMICA" or on the advanced light
helicopter. It has been developed by DRDO as a part of IGMDP (Integrated Guided
Missile Development Program).It will be used by both army and airforce .
It claimed to be first anti-tank missile which has a complete fiberglass structure.Also a smokeless nitramine based propellant has been developed for the Nag , which makes its detection by enemy tougher.
The missile was named as NAG(Snake) because of its trajectory
path. Rather than following the elliptical path as other missiles, it hits the
target as a snake hits its enemies. The missile goes near to target in
elliptical path and suddenly raises upwards and then bends at a certain angle
and hits the target.
