India’s strategic strike capabilities are set to undergo a significant enhancement with the imminent induction of indigenous Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missiles (LRLACM) and Long Range Anti-Ship Missiles (LRAShM) powered by the domestically developed Manik engine. Expected to enter operational service within three years, the LRLACM boasts a range exceeding 1,000 kilometers and advanced avionics for precise strikes. The Indian Navy is actively integrating the naval variant with Universal Vertical Launch Modules, with live firing trials scheduled by late 2026. These developments are crucial for strengthening India’s deterrence posture in the Indian Ocean Region, providing the Army and Navy with enhanced long-range precision strike options against potential adversaries.
