DRDO successfully tests critical defence technologies, including multi-layered ballistic missile defence interceptor
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted three successful flight tests of critical defence technologies on Wednesday and Thursday. These tests included a multi-layered ballistic missile defence interceptor, an advanced air-to-air missile, and a long-range anti-ship missile. The interceptor test, conducted from APJ Abdul Kalam Island, demonstrated the capability to engage multiple targets. The air-to-air missile test from an IAF aircraft validated its advanced propulsion and control systems. The anti-ship missile test from a naval platform confirmed its long-range strike capability. These advancements significantly enhance India's defence capabilities and promote self-reliance.
