Wednesday, 3 January 2024 The very short-range air defence system (VSHORADS), developed by DRDO to neutralise low-altitude aerial threats at ranges up to 6-km, "should be offered for user trials to the armed forces by April-May", a senior defence official told TOI. "The indigenously-developed 4th generation VSHORADS is technically superior to existing MANPADS (man-portable air defence systems) in the Indian armed forces because it has a state-of-the-art uncooled imaging infrared seeker," he said. VSHORADS offer a low-cost option that can swiftly be deployed for close air defence protection of crucial assets in rugged high-altitude areas as well as in the maritime domain.
India has successfully test-fired its long-range hypersonic missile, joining a select group of countries including Russia and China. The missile, launched by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on November 16, 2024, can reach speeds over Mach 5 (more than 6,174 km/h) and target both sea and land-based objectives. This achievement underscores India's growing stature as a global military power.
