India has successfully completed the first flight test of the integrated air defense weapon system (IADWS) from the Odisha coast. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated those who develop IADWS for flight tests, Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Armed Forces. The indigenous air defense system was tested from Odisha coast at 12:30 pm on Saturday.

The multi -level air defense system is IADWS

The new air defense system has been flown tested three and a half months after the operation operation. The IADWS is a multi -level air defense system consisting of all indigenous missiles with a quick reaction surface, a very short distance air defense system (VSHords) missiles and high -power laser -based laser -based energy weapons (Dew) systems.

Rajnath Singh said on social media, ‘I congratulate DRDO, Indian Armed Forces and Industry for successfully developing IADWS. This unique flight test has established our country’s multi -level air defense capacity and it will strengthen the defense system against the enemy’s hazards.

What is special in Sudarshan Chakra?

The advanced missile defense system ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ being developed by India is very special due to its technical abilities. This system will be able to destroy the enemy missiles in the range of up to 2500 km and will be able to intercept any missile in the air up to a height of 150 km. It uses modern technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Laser-Guided System, which gives it the ability to target a very accurate target.

Missile will be fired at a speed of 5km/second

The Sudarshan Chakra can feat the missile at a speed of 5 kilometers per second and its composition is based on a ground-based and space-based hybrid system, including both satellite and radar networks. Its goal is to neutralize the enemy’s ballistic missile, cruise missile and hypersonic weapons. The government has targeted to be completely deployed by 2026 and its estimated cost is said to be around Rs 50,000 crore.

Agni-5 testing was also successful

India has successfully tested its state-of-the-art ballistic missile ‘Agni-5’ this week. This achievement is considered to be a big success in the field of missile technology of the country. The test was conducted from Odisha’s Integrated Test Range, Chandipur. According to the Ministry of Defense, during this time the missile successfully met all the operational and technical standards. After this achievement, there has been a significant increase in India’s strategic capacity and defense power.
