“Three consecutive flight-tests were conducted on June 10,11 to demonstrate multi-layered defense against long range ballistic missiles and anti-ship capability at medium range,” the ministry said.
Officials stated that the results place India among a select group of countries possessing ballistic missile defense systems capable of engaging threats up to the intercontinental ballistic missile category.
The ministry also confirmed the successful maiden flight test of the Naval Anti-Ship Missile–Medium Range, marking a significant milestone in the development of the country's maritime strike capabilities.
India is considered one of the few nations that maintain a broad missile arsenal covering short-, medium-, and long-range platforms, while continuing to expand its sea-based strategic deterrence capabilities.
