DRDO conducted the maiden flight‑test of the Very Short Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) missile
The flight‑test marks a key step in India's push for indigenous air‑defence capabilities, reducing reliance on imports for low‑altitude threat neutralisation. Conducted at the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, the trials validate a man‑portable system meant for the Army, Navy and Air Force. This aligns with the government's Make in India‑Defence drive and enhances rapid‑response protection for critical assets. The successful trials were publicly praised by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, underscoring the strategic importance of home‑grown missile technology.
The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) operates under the Ministry of Defence, a permanent constitutional entity responsible for national security and defence procurement as per Article 53 of the Indian Constitution.
