The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), in partnership with the Indian Air Force (IAF), has successfully conducted flight-tests of the indigenous RudraM-II Air-to-Surface missile. This milestone was achieved under extreme release conditions, demonstrating the missile's performance across critical flight parameters. The test confirmed the effectiveness and reliability of key subsystems, with the missile guided to a predefined target with pinpoint accuracy. Developed by the Research Centre Imarat in Hyderabad, the RudraM-II missile involved collaboration with several DRDO laboratories and industry partners. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh commended the efforts of all teams involved, highlighting the successful tests as evidence of India's advancing indigenous defence technologies and contributing to the concept of Atmanirbharta, or self-reliance, in advanced weapon systems. The flight-tests were conducted at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur, where all test objectives were achieved, marking a significant advancement in India's defence preparedness.
