The DRDO successfully conducted three consecutive flight trials of the Very Short-Range Air Defence (VSHORAD) system, demonstrating its capability to intercept low-altitude, high-speed threats. During these tests, the missile precisely targeted and destroyed objects mimicking low-flying drones. This showcases the system’s effectiveness in countering aerial threats at close range. The trials, conducted in a final deployment configuration, highlight the operational readiness of VSHORAD, reinforcing its role in strengthening India’s defence against modern aerial warfare tactics, particularly against drones and other low-altitude threats.
