About Amogha-III Missile:

Amogha-III is an indigenous missile which has been developed under Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP).
It has a fire-and-forget capability and does not require external intervention after the launch.
The missile also features dual-mode Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) Seeker systems with a range of 200 to 2500 meters.
It showcases a tandem warhead, consisting of two separate explosive charges that are detonated in sequence.
- The first charge, known as the precursor charge, penetrates the target’s armour, creating a hole for the second charge, the main charge, to detonate inside, maximizing damage inflicted on the target.
One of the unique features of the missile is it has both top and direct attack mode.
