NEW DELHI: The Army and DRDO conducted four successful flight tests of the medium-range surface-to-air missile ( MR-SAM ) systems, which have been developed jointly with Israel to have a 70-km interception range, on Thursday and Friday.
The four operational flight-trials, conducted from the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast, were carried out against high-speed aerial targets. The MR-SAM weapon systems are designed to destroy hostile aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and drones at a range of 70-km.
"The missiles intercepted the aerial targets and destroyed them, registering direct hits. The trials were carried out to intercept four targets at long-range, short-range, high-altitude and low-altitude to prove the MR-SAM's operational capability," a defence ministry official said.
