9 Akash Missiles Fired : All hit target : Proves 100% Reliability

[Water Car Engineer]

BALASORE: Surface-to-air supersonic missile Akash on Friday completed its training user trials successfully, validating all mission parameters as set by the Indian Air Force (IAF).

Two rounds of the missile were fired in quick succession and both achieved ‘direct-hit’, destroying aerial targets.

This was last test in the five-day series conducted from Integrated Test Range (ITR) off the Odisha coast. Altogether nine missiles, picked up randomly from the production lot, were used during the trials that started on Monday.

Defence sources said two medium range nuclear capable Akash missiles were fired from the launching complex-III of ITR between 12 noon and 12.40 pm, minutes after the aerial targets were flown from the launching complex-II of the same test facility.

While the first missile successfully destroyed a fast moving aerial target at a low altitude, the second missile directly hit an unmanned aerial target ‘Banshee Jet 80’ nearly four kilometre away and 35 metre above sea level, proving the system’s capability against subsonic cruise missile.

With this, the IAF is said to have completed the training user trial of the indigenously developed sleek missile which is proven to be the best in its class.

Well,that is debatable.For example,they have achieved quite a lot in the fields of electronic warfare,radars and of course ground armored vehicles.
