00:00 India successfully conducted the second trial of its indigenous naval anti-ship missile
00:08 on Tuesday following its initial trials in May last year.
00:12 The test was a collaborative effort between the Defence Research and Development Organisation
00:16 (DRDO) and the Indian Navy.
00:19 Navy and DRDO's indigenous anti-ship missiles in an attempt to boost self-reliance or atmanirbharta,
00:25 the Navy in association with DRDO India successfully undertook guided flight trials of first indigenously
00:30 developed naval anti-ship missile from Sea King 42B Hello on 21 November 2023, a significant
00:37 step towards achieving self-reliance in niche missile tech, including seeker and guidance
00:42 tech, the Navy wrote on X.
00:44 The video shared by the Indian Navy on X depicted the missile launch from the Sea King 42B helicopter.
00:48 Earlier in October, the report arrived that DRDO is all set to test the much-anticipated
00:54 long-range anti-ship missile that would enhance the Navy's capabilities, especially in the
00:58 realm of ship-based missile systems with extended range.
01:02 The report added that the missile may have a range of 500 km, which is greater than the
01:06 range of 350-400 km offered by the supersonic Indo-Russian cruise missile BrahMos.
01:12 Previously in May 2022, this naval anti-ship missile short-range underwent its inaugural
01:17 test, fired from a Sea King helicopter of the Indian Navy at the Integrated Test Range
01:22 at Chandipur off the Odisha coast.
01:24 In March this year, the Indian Navy successfully conducted MRSAM i.e. medium-range surface-to-air
01:28 missile firing from INS Vishakhapatnam, validating the capability to engage anti-ship missiles.
01:34 The medium-range surface-to-air missile was jointly developed by DRDO and Israel Aerospace
01:39 Industries at Bharat Dynamics Ltd.
01:41 MRSAM can hit multiple targets at a range of 70 km, combat management system, mobile
01:46 launch systems, advanced long-range radar, mobile power system, radar power system, reloader
01:51 vehicle and field service vehicle comprise the missile system, which is powered by an
01:55 indigenously developed rocket motor and control system.
