New Delhi, The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully flight tested the RudraM-II Air-to-Surface missile from a Su-30 MK-I platform of the Indian Air Force (IAF). The test took place at around 11:30 hours on May 29, off the coast of Odisha.

The RudraM-II missile is a significant addition to India’s defence arsenal, enhancing the country’s air-to-surface warfare capabilities. The successful flight test marks a major milestone in India’s defence technology development.

The trial objectives of the test were met, validating the missile’s propulsion system and control and guidance algorithm. The performance of the missile was validated from the flight data captured by range tracking instruments like electro-optical systems, radar, and telemetry stations deployed by ITR Chandipur at various locations, including the on-board ship.

The successful test of the RudraM-II missile is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the scientists and engineers at DRDO. It also underscores the Indian government’s commitment to strengthening the country’s defence capabilities.

The DRDO will continue to work on advancing India’s defence technology and ensuring the country’s security in the face of evolving threats.
