India Successfully Tests Indigenous Advanced Missile

 

Baleshwar: On Thursday, India successfully tested its advanced missile system, the VLSRSTAUP, from the Chandipur test range in Odisha. This missile, developed using indigenous technology, boasts a range of up to 30 kilometres and can intercept targets at altitudes up to 12 kilometres, enhancing India's aerial defence capabilities.

The VLSRSTAUP is designed to target and neutralize high-speed aerial threats, such as enemy aircraft, drones, and incoming missiles. The missile's successful launch validates India's growing expertise in missile technology and its commitment to developing robust self-defence systems. The missile performed well in all parameters, proving its capability to operate effectively in challenging conditions.

The launch was overseen by top officials and scientists, who noted that the missile system incorporates cutting-edge technologies, including advanced guidance and control systems. This test reinforces India's strategic defence initiatives, underscoring the nation's resolve to advance its indigenous defence production and reduce dependence on foreign technologies.

The joint efforts in both purchasing advanced ASW equipment from the U.S. and developing indigenous missile systems highlight India's comprehensive approach to enhancing its defence capabilities across multiple domains, ensuring preparedness for various security challenges.
