India has successfully tested its first domestically developed micro-missile system, engineered to counter swarm drone threats.

• The testing included two successful firings at the Gopalpur Seaward Firing Ranges this week.
• The new micro-missile system, being developed for the Indian Army, successfully engaged virtual targets beyond 2.5 km, demonstrating an economical solution against large-scale drone attacks that pose a continuous security challenge.
• Following these successful demonstrations, which were observed by senior Army officials, the system is positioned for comprehensive trials later this year, advancing towards integration into the armed forces.
