The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Saturday (February 1, 2025) successfully conducted three successive flight-trials of the Very Short-Range Air Defence (VSHORAD) system from Chandipur off the coast of Odisha. These tests were carried out against high-speed targets flying at a very low altitude.
“During all the three flight-tests, the missiles intercepted and completely destroyed the targets, having reduced thermal signature mimicking low flying drones at different flying conditions. The flight-tests were carried out in final deployment configuration wherein two field operators carried out weapon readiness, target acquisition and missile firing,” a statement from the DRDO said.
