The Defense Research and Development  Organization (DRDO) of India has done a successful testfire of the “RUDRAM” Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM). The ARM was fired by a Sukhoi-30 fighter aircraft.
Anti-Radiation Missiles are used to detect and destroy RADAR and Jammers of the enemy. The special sensor of the missile detects the enemy’s Radar radiation and mover in the same direction to destroy.
This Anti-Radiation Missile can play a game-changer role in critical situations. The RADARs are used to detect the enemy’s aircraft and then fires missiles for their destruction, but with these missiles, the aircraft carriers can detect the RADAR radiation and can destroy it before it attacks.

RUDRAM is the first missile of its kind in the Indian Airforce, as it has been developed through Indian technology by an Indian organization while keeping eye on the requirements of the Indian Air Force, this missile can be attached to several fighter jets and aircrafts such as Mirage 2000, Jaguar, HAL Tejas and HAL Tejas Mark 2 in future. Currently, its primary test platform is Sukhoi Su-30MKI.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, “This will be a major technology breakthrough for stand-off capability in anti-submarine warfare”.
