Q1Consider the following statements about Guided Pinaka: 1. DRDO completed flight tests of the Guided Pinaka Weapon System as part of PSQR validation trials. 2. These flight tests were conducted in three phases at different field firing ranges. 3. The tests assessed only the range parameter, and did not assess accuracy, consistency or rate of fire. 4. The precision-strike variant for Pinaka MLRS was described as a totally indigenous weapon system designed and developed by ARDE with other partner institutions. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct. The PIB release says the Guided Pinaka tests were PSQR validation trials, conducted in three phases, and identifies the precision-strike variant as a totally indigenous system designed and developed by ARDE with named associates. Statement 3 is false because the same release says ranging, accuracy, consistency and rate of fire were assessed.
Q2Consider the following statements about INS Vikrant: 1. Vikrant is the first indigenously designed and built aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy. 2. Vikrant was built by Cochin Shipyard Limited. 3. Vikrant was designed by the Indian Army's Corps of Engineers. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. PIB says Vikrant is the first indigenously designed and built aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy and that it was built by Cochin Shipyard Limited. Statement 3 is incorrect because the design body cited is the Navy's Warship Design Bureau.
Q31. DRDO handed over AHSP of the Akash Weapon System to MSQAA in Hyderabad on December 3, 2022. 2. Research Centre Imarat was the nodal agency that designed and developed the Akash weapon system. 3. Akash is an indigenous surface-to-air missile system inducted by both the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct: the AHSP transfer to MSQAA occurred in Hyderabad on December 3, 2022. Statement 2 is incorrect because DRDL, not Research Centre Imarat, is named as the nodal agency. Statement 3 is correct because Akash is described as an indigenous surface-to-air missile system inducted by the Indian Army and Indian Air Force.
Q4According to the PIB document 'Make in India Powers Defence Growth', what was India's all-time high defence export value in FY 2024-25?
The cited PIB fact states that India's defence exports reached Rs 23,622 crore in FY 2024-25, the all-time high. Rs 15,233 crore refers to private-sector defence exports in that year, Rs 8,389 crore refers to Defence Public Sector Undertaking exports, and Rs 686 crore is the FY 2013-14 defence export value, not the FY 2024-25 record.
Q5With reference to the 'Kusha' missile system, consider the following statements: 1. All the major components of the Kusha weapon system were imported from abroad. 2. The Kusha system can neutralise varied aerial threats including UAVs and fighter aircraft. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Statement 1 is incorrect: all major components of the Kusha system, including the missiles, radar and command-and-control centre, were developed by various DRDO laboratories together with industry partners, not imported; the test even reflects capability that will end import dependence. Statement 2 is correct: Kusha can neutralise a wide variety of aerial threats such as fighter aircraft, missiles, UAVs and large enemy aircraft. Hence only statement 2 is correct.
