This test has been done from a warship of the Indian Navy. During this, the missile destroyed the target midway. VL-SRSAM is designed and developed by DRDO.
This missile has an indigenous radio frequency seeker, which further enhances its accuracy. This missile is so dangerous that it can rapidly destroy different types of air threats. Its speed and firepower are so lethal that it will not even be caught by the radar. Its weight is 154 kg. Its length is about 12.6 feet. The speed of this missile is 4.5 Mach.
It is known for its speed, accuracy and fire power. The VL-SRSAM is designed to strike at a range of 40 to 50 km and at an altitude of about 15 km. Its design is based on the ASTRA missile, which is a visual range air-to-air missile.
The specialty of VL-SRSAM is that it can rotate 360 ​​degrees and eliminate the enemy. The testing was supervised by senior scientists from Defense Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Research Center Imaran (RCI), Hyderabad and R&D Engineers, Pune, who helped DRDO design and build it.
