The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has made a bold assertion, claiming it can now develop any type of missile system within a timeframe of just three to four years. This includes air-to-air, ground-to-air, and air-to-ground missile systems.
DRDO Chairman Samir V Kamat attributed this accelerated development capability to the growing prowess of local industries, which have been instrumental in reducing the time spent on developmental trials. This strategic partnership between DRDO and Indian companies is seen as a game-changer in the country’s defense sector.
Kamat’s statement underscores India’s growing self-reliance in missile technology and its potential to become a global leader in this critical domain.
