India successfully test fired a new generation anti-radiation missile Rudram-1.
The missile was test-fired at the integrated test range at Balasore in Odisha around 10:30 AM.
The missile is likely to be integrated with the Sukhoi fighter jets of the Indian Force once the missile is ready for induction.
The RUDRAM is first indigenous anti-radiation missile of the country for Indian Air Force (IAF), being developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The missile is integrated on SU-30 MKI fighter aircraft as the launch platform, having capability of varying ranges based on launch conditions.
It has INS-GPS navigation with Passive Homing Head for the final attack.
