Anti-Ship missile (AShM) fired by Indian Navy's Guided Missile Corvette INS Kora hits the target at max range with precise accuracy in the Bay of Bengal.
The Indian Navy has added another feather to its cap. On Friday it successfully test-fired an Anti-Ship Missile (AShM) from its Guided Missile Corvette INS Kora. Indian Navy announced that the missile that was test-fired in the Bay of Bengal hit the target ship at 'maximum range' with precise accuracy.
The Indian Navy also tweeted pictures showing the missile hitting the target ship and flames rising up in the sky.
In a tweet on Friday, the Spokesperson of the Indian Navy, said, 'AShM fired by Indian Navy's Guided Missile Corvette INS Kora hits the target at max range with precise accuracy in the Bay of Bengal. Target ship severely damaged and in flames.'
INS Kora, the vessel which fired the missile, is a Kora-class guided missile corvette of the Indian Navy. It was commissioned into service in 1998.
The warship, designed in-house by the Navy under Project 25A, has a displacement of 1,350 tonnes. It is equipped with Kh-35 anti-ship missiles.
On October 23, The Indian Navy shared a video showing an anti-ship missile (AShM) launched by its Missile Corvette INS Prabal with deadly accuracy at maximum range and sinking the target ship.
The missile launched somewhere from the Arabian Sea homed in on its target - an old ship - and hit it with deadly accuracy at its maximum range.
As per the official Spokesperson Navy Twitter account, 'AShM launched by Indian Navy Missile Corvette INS Prabal, homes on with deadly accuracy at max range, sinking target ship,' the Indian Navy had tweeted.
Earlier this month, Indian Army Chief General MM Naravane had commissioned the Anti-Submarine Warfare stealth corvette INS Kavaratti.
INS Kavaratti was the last of the four indigenously-built ASW stealth corvettes under Project 28 (Kamorta class). It has been designed by the Indian Navy's Directorate of Naval Design.
INS Kavaratti has been equipped with state-of-the-art weapons and sensor suite which can 'detect and prosecute' enemy submarines. The ship, which was commissioned into the Navy as a combat-ready platform, is capable of long-range deployment.
Earlier this month the Indian Navy had successfully test fired BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from Indian Navy’s indigenously-built stealth destroyer INS Chennai hitting a target in the Arabian Sea. It hit the target successfully with pinpoint accuracy after performing high-level & extremely complex manoeuvres.
'BrahMos as 'prime strike weapon' will ensure the warship's invincibility by engaging naval surface targets at long ranges, thus making the destroyer another lethal platform of Indian Navy,' the defence ministry had said in a statement.
