The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Air Force (IAF) have successfully conducted flight-tests of the RudraM-II Air-to-Surface Missile from an airborne platform, showcasing India's advancements in indigenous defence technology. The tests were executed under extreme release conditions, confirming the operational capabilities of all missile subsystems. Following release, the missiles were guided to designated targets with pin-point accuracy, meeting all test objectives as verified by data collected from various instruments at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur. The RudraM-II was developed by the Research Centre Imarat in Hyderabad, with significant collaboration from other DRDO laboratories and various industries, including Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh commended the efforts of all involved parties, emphasizing that these successful tests reflect the increasing maturity of India's indigenous defence technologies and play a crucial role in achieving Aatmanirbharta in advanced weapon systems.
