DRDO Successfully Tests VSHORADS Missiles Off Odisha Coast

Bhubaneswar: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully conducted three successive flight trials of the Very Short-Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) from Chandipur off the Odisha coast.

The tests were carried out against high-speed targets flying at very low altitudes. The missiles successfully intercepted and destroyed the targets, which simulated low-flying drones with reduced thermal signatures under different flight conditions.

According to official sources, the flight tests were conducted in final deployment configuration, with two field operators managing weapon readiness, target acquisition, and missile firing. The successful trials mark a significant step in enhancing India’s air defense capabilities.
