Twin tests of VSHORADS successful

BHUBANESWAR: India on Tuesday conducted twin successful trials of indigenously developed very short-range air defence system (VSHORADS) from a defence test facility off the Odisha coast paving its way for induction in the armed forces.

Designed and developed by DRDO, the man-portable air defence system was flight tested in quick succession from launching complex III of the Integrated Test Range (ITR).

Defence sources said the flight tests were carried out from a ground-based man-portable launcher against high-speed unmanned aerial targets, mimicking the enemy aircraft. The approaching and receding aircraft were successfully intercepted, meeting all mission objectives.

VSHORADS is meant for neutralising low-altitude aerial threats at short ranges. It has been designed and developed indigenously by Hyderabad-based Research Centre Imarat (RCI) in collaboration with other DRDO laboratories and Indian industry partners.

Having a strike range of up to six km, the missile weighs around 15 kg and is capable of effectively engaging aerial targets with low infrared signature. It comes with a lightweight man-portable launcher and boasts a highly proven success rate.

We never know which missile was actually tested
Because you are not sitting in the office, spending the whole day checking satellite pictures and intelligence reports for whole life.
For those taking this as their job, there is a very good chance that they not only already know it and also knew which unit undertaking the test even before the missile was launched.

You mean it's exactly like what it was for the Pokhran 2 tests.
