The Indian Navy successfully test fired the Medium Range Surface to Air Missile (MRSAM) from INS Visakhapatnam. This holds significance as it validated the Navy’s capability to induct anti-ship missiles.

The test-firing of the missile was carried out from INS Visakhapatnam, the lead ship of the Visakhapatnam-class stealth guided-missile destroyers. Jointly developed by DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries, MRSAM is produced at Bharat Dynamics Limited for use by the Indian Army.

Sharing details of the test fire, the Indian Navy said, “MRSAM has been jointly developed by DRDO and IAI, and produced at BDL reflects Indian Navy’s commitment towards Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
