DRDO and L&T are set to test-fire an indigenous Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) from the Zorawar light tank, marking a significant step in India’s efforts to indigenise advanced weapon systems for the Indian Army. These trials will focus on the integration of the missile with the tank’s fire-control system, aiming to enhance its battlefield effectiveness in high-altitude areas like Eastern Ladakh. The Zorawar tank, designed for rapid deployment, symbolizes India’s strategic shift towards self-reliance in defense technology, reducing import dependence while bolstering its defense industrial base and export potential. Successful trials will expedite the tank’s operational induction, enhancing India’s military capabilities in contested terrains.
