The Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to conduct trials for the Rudram-3 hypersonic missile, a significant advancement in multi-role missile technology. Designed for both anti-radiation and precision ground-attack missions, the Rudram-3 features an advanced seeker that utilizes radar-homing and satellite navigation, enabling it to target both active and non-radiating threats from a standoff distance of 550-600 km. With speeds exceeding Mach-5 and a sophisticated propulsion system, this missile enhances the IAF’s operational capabilities while ensuring aircraft safety against enemy air defenses. The development of the Rudram-3 underscores India’s commitment to bolstering its defense posture, particularly in contested regions, and reflects the strategic importance of maintaining technological superiority in aerial warfare.
