India on Wednesday conducted successful tests of an Advanced
Area Defense (AD) interceptor missile of its own production as part
of the second stage of the creation of the country's national
missile defense system, Azernews reports.
An interceptor missile launched from the Chindipur test site
(Odisha State) successfully hit a target simulating a long-range
ballistic missile. "The goal of the tests has been fully achieved.
They confirmed the reliability of the network-centric missile
defense system, long-range detection equipment, communication
systems and second-generation interceptor missiles," the DRDO
said.
Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the missile
developers on successful tests. "They have again demonstrated
India's capabilities in the field of missile defense," the head of
the department said.
The AD is a two-stage, long-range solid-fuel interceptor missile
designed for non-atmospheric and intra-atmospheric interception of
ballistic missiles, as well as aircraft of a likely enemy.
India is creating a two-tier missile defense system to protect
large cities from missile attack, capable of destroying ballistic
missiles with a range of up to 5 thousand km.
