The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully conducted the test-firing of the third version of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-launched Laser-Guided Anti-Tank Missile, ULPGM-V3.

The test signifies a major advancement in India's precision strike and drone warfare capabilities.

Key Points:

• DRDO successfully tested the ULPGM-V3, a laser-guided missile launched from a drone, at an undisclosed test range.
• ULPGM-V3 is designed to target armored vehicles with high accuracy using a laser guidance system.
• The missile demonstrated top-attack capability and a direct hit on the intended target during the trial.
• This marks a significant step in integrating drones with advanced weaponry for future combat operations.
• The development enhances India's indigenous defence capabilities and aligns with the “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative.
