The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) achieves success with the New Generation AKASH missile, intercepting and destroying a high-speed unmanned aerial target at low altitude. The comprehensive test validates the complete weapon system's functionality, including an indigenously developed radio frequency seeker and radar. The AKASH-NG system's capability to intercept agile aerial threats is confirmed, prompting Defense Minister Rajnath Singh to commend the achievement. The Akash missile, in service for over a decade, garners international interest, with potential orders from Southeast Asia and the Middle East following successful trials.
