RudraM‑II Air‑to‑Surface Missile Completes Key Flight Test Over Bay of Bengal

India’s RudraM‑II air‑to‑surface missile successfully completed a critical flight test. The test was conducted over the Bay of Bengal, a designated trial area. Engineers evaluated the missile’s guidance and payload delivery performance. The flight demonstrated the system’s ability to strike surface targets from the air. Successful results move the program closer to operational clearance. The test supports ongoing efforts to modernize the country’s strike capabilities. Defense officials are expected to review data before final approval. Further trials may be scheduled to validate additional mission parameters.
