Successful test firing of the Rudram-2 air to ground anti radiation missile

India carries out successful test firing of the Rudram-2 air to ground anti radiation missile under extreme conditions.

Sources say DRDO has successfully conducted trials of the Rudram-2, a supersonic air-to-surface missile launched from the Su-30MKI. Designed to hunt and destroy hostile air-defence systems.

DRDO successfully conducted flight trials of the Rudram-2 Anti-Radiation Missile from a Su-30MKI fighter aircraft. India has just taken another step towards suppressing enemy air defences with indigenous weapons.

Sources add the tests were carried out under extreme release conditions, validating critical trajectories and the performance of all key subsystems. Another step forward in India's stand-off strike capability.

And this missile is designed to hunt one of the most critical assets on any battlefield.
• With 300Km range, Rudram-2 is an indigenous air-launched anti-radiation missile
• The missile is designed to detect and destroy enemy radar emissions

Anti-radiation missiles play a key role in Suppression of Enemy Air Defences (SEAD) missions. Destroying radars can blind air defence networks and create safer corridors for strike aircraft. Rudram is part of India's growing family of indigenous precision-guided weapons
