New Delhi: Missile Akash-to-new new generation of air, with an interception range of 25-30 km, and antity Missile portable guide (MPATGM), with a strike range of 2.5 km, was tested by Drdo on Wednesday.
The two missiles are still undergoing development trials but will increase the guns of armed forces so they fully operate for induction.
Previous versions of Misil Akash, who can intercept airplanes, helicopters, drones, and subsonic roaming missiles in the range of 25 km, have been sworn in in large quantities, with orders worth around RS 24,000 Crore placed.
“The new Akash weapon system, after being deployed, will be proven to be a multiplier for strength for the IAF air defense capability,” said a Drdo scientist.
This missile was tested from the integrated test range (ITR) from Odisha beach at 12:45 a.m.
“Perfect performance of all weapons systems is confirmed by complete flight data captured by radar, electro-optical tracking and telemetry system.
During testing, missiles show high maneuverability needed to neutralize the threat of a fast and agile air,” he added.
MP-ATGM Fire-andforget Fire-andforget also managed to target, which “imitates tanks”, in direct attack mode and destroys it with precision.
Army currently has a large shortage of ATGMS.
