An Indian Prithvi short range ballistic missile (SRBM) on display, mounted on its Tata transporter erector launcher. The original liquid fueled Prithvi had a 150 km range for a 1,000 kg payload. The missile in this picture looks like a Prithvi II, which has a 350 km range but with a 500 kg payload. This development version still has the markings of India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
