India's Missile Fury: Two Consecutive Days of Surface-to-Air Showdowns!

India's defence prowess has just taken a major leap forward, with the successful test-firing of the Vertical Launch Short Range Surface-to-Air Missile (VLSRSAM) for the second consecutive day. The impressive feat was achieved by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), leaving the world in awe of India's rapid progress in missile technology.

  1. Back-to-Back Successes

    On September 12 and 13, the DRDO successfully test-fired the VLSRSAM from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur on the Odisha coast. This remarkable display of precision and power demonstrates India's commitment to strengthening its defence capabilities.

  2. Target Practice

    In both tests, the missile successfully intercepted a high-speed low-altitude aerial target mimicking a sea-skimming aerial target. This impressive feat showcases the VLSRSAM's ability to detect and destroy airborne threats with ease.

  3. Safety First

    For the safety of nearby residents, the Balasore district administration temporarily relocated 3,100 people from six villages within a 2.5 km radius of the ITR Launch Pad 3. This precautionary measure was taken in consultation with the ITR authorities at Chandipur, highlighting the importance of prioritizing safety in such operations.

As India continues to push the boundaries of missile technology, the successful test-firing of the VLSRSAM serves as a testament to the country's growing defence capabilities. With this impressive feat, India takes a step closer to becoming a global leader in the field of missile technology.
