LCA Tejas Adds Fifth Generation Israeli Air-To-Air Missile Python-5 To Its Weapons Package With Successful Test
Tejas
India’s indigenous fighter, Light Combat Aircraft Tejas, has added fifth generation Python-5 air-to-air missile to its weapons package, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said earlier today.
According to the DRDO, the capability to fire Derby Beyond Visual Range air-to-air missile was also validated in the trials.
Both Python-5 and Derby missiles have been developed by Israeli defence company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
The missile comes with a fifth-generation imaging seeker. It provides “full sphere launch capability” with lock-on-after-launch and excellent acquisition and targeting capabilities, developer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems says.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
