The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), in collaboration with the Indian Army, successfully conducted four flight tests of the Army version of the Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MR-SAM). These tests took place at Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha. The Defence Ministry confirmed that all the missiles successfully intercepted and destroyed aerial targets with direct hits. This achievement reflects the advanced capabilities of India’s missile defence systems and the effective partnership between DRDO and the armed forces in strengthening the country’s defence infrastructure.
