India today successfully test-fired its indigenously developed quick reaction surface-to-air short range missile from a test range along the Odisha coast. The sophisticated missile with a strike range of 25 to 30 km, was test fired at about 11.25 a.m. today from a truck-mounted canister launcher from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur. <br/><br/>Designed to be a quick reaction missile, it is capable of engaging multiple targets and involves an all-weather weapon system capable of tracking and firing. It was the second developmental trial of the state-of-the-art missile with an aerial target. The missile has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation and other establishments.<br/><br/>Defence Minister Arun Jaitley congratulated DRDO for successfully test firing Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile. <br/><br/>In a series of tweets, Mr Jaitley said, this will add to India's defence capabilities. He said, the successful flight test of the Missile paves the way for complete indigenization of surface to air missile domain.
