DRDO Successfully Test Fires Made-In-India Surface To Air Missile MRSAM Off Odisha Coast
Past MSRAM missile test by DRDO (Livefist)
The DRDO today (23 December) successfully test fired medium range surface to air missile (MRSAM) from its integrated test range at 3.55 PM, Press Trust of India reports.
The missile has been jointly developed by DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries and has been manufactured by Bharat Dynamics limited. It is capable of engaging multiple aerial targets with a range exceeding 50 km.
The missile was fired from a ground mobile launcher and as part of its test successfully shot down an unmanned air vehicle (UAV).
The Balasore district administration had temporarily evacuated 8,100 people residing within 2.5 km radius of the launch pad as part of precautions before the test.
The deadly missile is expected to be a boon for Indian Armed Forces' combat effectiveness after its induction. In 2019 the Indian Navy had successfully test fired a MRSAM marking a major feat towards enhancing its anti-air warfare capabilities.
