India has achieved another major success in the field of indigenous defense technology. Defense Research and Development Organization DRDO and Indian Air Force have jointly successfully tested Rudram-II air-to-surface missile. This missile was launched from a fighter plane.
After launch, the missile hit its target with absolute accuracy. During the test, all the systems of the missile were successful and all the targets were achieved. This state-of-the-art missile was tested off the coast of Odisha through Indian Air Force fighter aircraft Sukhoi-30 MKI.
Rudram-II is an indigenous missile
According to the information, Rudram-II is an indigenous missile, which has been developed by DRDO’s Hyderabad-based Research Center building. Many laboratories of DRDO, HAL and many defense companies of the country have cooperated in its development.

Use of latest technology
India’s best and most modern technology has been used in the Rudram-II missile. Passive Homing Head (PHH) seeker technology has been installed in it. This seeker works like a very sensitive receiver, which identifies the electromagnetic spectrum of the enemy.
India had earlier tested ‘Rudram-1’, whose strike range was around 100 to 150 kilometers. But the new Rudram-II is much more lethal, faster and capable of striking at longer ranges. The biggest feature of Rudram-II is its increased range. This missile can destroy enemy targets from a distance of 300 to 350 kilometers.
anti-radiation missile
The Rudram-II missile is powered by solid fuel, which gives it high speed in the air. Due to its high speed, it is almost impossible for the enemy air defense system to intercept it or shoot it down in the air. This is a state-of-the-art anti-radiation missile, whose main function is to intercept the signals emanating from enemy surveillance radars, tracking systems and communication towers and destroy them in the air.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has congratulated DRDO, Indian Air Force and everyone associated with the defense industry on this success. He said that this achievement shows the growing strength of India’s indigenous defense technology and strengthens the Self-reliant India campaign.
The successful test of Rudram-II will further strengthen the Indian Air Force’s ability to carry out precise attacks on enemy ground targets.
