According to defence officials, two South American countries have shown interest in the Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers.
About Pinaka:
Pinaka is a Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL).
The Pinaka MBRL is designed by the Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), a laboratory of the DRDO.
It was first used during the Kargil War, where it successfully neutralised Pakistan Army positions on the mountain tops.
It delivers lethal and responsive fire against a variety of area targets, such as exposed enemy troops, armoured and soft-skin vehicles, communication centres, air terminal complexes, and fuel and ammunition dumps.
Features:
It consists of a multi-tube launcher vehicle, a replenishment-cum-loader vehicle, a replenishment vehicle, and a command post vehicle.
The launcher system is supported on four hydraulically actuated outriggers at the time of firing.
It has a range of 60 to 75 kilometres.
The system is mounted on a Tatra truck for mobility.
