The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has made substantial strides in developing the RudraM-III, an indigenous long-range anti-radiation missile for the Su-30MKI fighter aircraft. This advanced missile features modular warheads and hypersonic speeds, enhancing India’s capabilities in Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) operations. With successful integration trials and plans for limited series production by 2026, the RudraM-III promises to bolster the Indian Air Force’s operational readiness in the Indo-Pacific region. Its versatility enables engagement with various ground targets while minimizing detection risks, marking a significant advancement in self-reliance and strategic deterrence for India’s defense forces. The project exemplifies India’s commitment to modernizing its military capabilities amid evolving geopolitical challenges.
