DRDO
has successfully demonstrated multiple crucial technologies bolstering the
nation’s defence capabilities against different types of enemy threats. Three
consecutive flight-tests were conducted on 10-11 June 2026 to demonstrate
multi-layered defence against long range ballistic missiles and anti-ship
capability at medium range.
Multi-layered
Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) capability was successfully demonstrated. The
interceptors successfully engaged their respective targets. The systems are
designed and developed with latest technologies to address the emerging missile
threats.
These
tests have put the country in the elite group of nations having BMD capability
to engage up to Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. The maiden flight-test of
the Naval Anti-Ship Missile-Medium Range (NASM-MR) was also carried out
successfully. The flight-tests were witnessed by senior officials of DRDO and
defence forces.
Defence
minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO on successfully demonstrating these
crucial technologies.
Secretary,
Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO Rajesh Kumar Singh closely
monitored the trials and applauded the combined efforts of DRDO and industry.
