DRDO conducted three successful flight tests of the 4th Generation VSHORADS (Very Short Range Air Defence System) on October 3-4, 2024, at the Pokhran Field Firing Ranges in Rajasthan. These tests demonstrated the missile’s critical performance parameters, including its range, altitude, and hit-to-kill capability. The VSHORADS was developed indigenously, supporting India's 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiative, which focuses on self-reliance in defence technology.
