Is there any Indian defence website which keeps a list of all missile tests?
If such a thing doesn’t exist, there should be one, isn’t it?

NEWSBREAK

India’s DRDO has successfully flight-tested its Supersonic Missile assisted release of Torpedo (SMART), a hybrid weapon that provides for a long-range (up to 650 km) anti-submarine capability. Photo & statement:

Supersonic Missile Assisted Release of Torpedo (SMART) has been successfully flight tested today 5th Oct 2020 at 1145 hrs from Wheeler Island off the coast of Odisha. All the mission objectives including missile flight upto the range and altitude, separation of the nose cone, release of Torpedo and deployment of Velocity Reduction Mechanism (VRM) have been met perfectly.

The tracking stations (Radars, Electro Optical Systems) along the coast and the telemetry stations including down range ships monitored all the events.

SMART is a missile assisted release of lightweight Anti-Submarine Torpedo System for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) operations far beyond Torpedo range.This launch and demonstration is significant in establishing Anti-Submarine warfare capabilities.

A number of DRDO laboratories including DRDL, RCI Hyderabad, ADRDE Agra, NSTL Visakhapatnam have developed the technologies required for SMART.

Implications are huge, Pak & bangladesh ki phategi(Bangladesh has Chinese submarines).

First test itself is from canister. So is this the first test?

 

[Knowitall]

This combined with UVLS in the future will be a game changer for Indian Navy.

I assume when these are inducted we will finally retire the rbu rockets. They take too much space we easily create space for 16 uvls if we are to remove them.

First test, yes.
Don’t think this can be construed as a canister launch by definition, a canister has to be hermitacally sealed. This one would be a launch tube.

others can weigh in on this..

 

[Swiftfarts]

650km range is massive. Build quality looks good.
