Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the DRDO and other stakeholders and said this missile is a major technology breakthrough for stand-off capability and anti-submarine warfare.
According to reports, this missile is expected to be extremely useful in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations outside the range of torpedoes. The test of this missile has been monitored by systems like sea-based vessels, coast, and telemetry stations.
Earlier this month, DRDO successfully tested a laser-guided anti-tank missile, tested from MBT Arjun tank.
