India successfully flight tests 4th-Gen VSHORADS missile

The tests were carried out on October 3 and 4 against high-speed targets and the weapon systems demonstrated very critical parameters of "maximum range and maximum altitude interception", the defence ministry said. It said the successful trials paved the way for "early user trials and production in a short time span" in line with the government's vision of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India).
