Ashish Rajvanshi, CEO of Adani Defence & Aerospace, has confirmed the ongoing development and testing phase of the RudraM-II air-to-surface missile. On May 29, 2024, at approximately 1130 hours, the missile underwent a successful flight test from the Su-30 MK-I platform of the Indian Air Force (IAF) off the coast of Odisha. Rajvanshi further revealed that additional drop trials are scheduled over the next six months, with the missile expected to be ready for serial production by mid-2025.

The RudraM-II represents a significant advancement in India’s defense capabilities, being an indigenously-developed missile system designed for air-to-surface operations. The missile is powered by solid propulsion and is intended to neutralize a variety of enemy assets, enhancing the operational flexibility and firepower of the IAF.

Several state-of-the-art indigenous technologies, developed by various laboratories of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), have been integrated into the RudraM-II. This collaboration underscores India’s commitment to self-reliance in defense technology and innovation.

With the planned drop trials set to further validate the missile’s performance and reliability, the RudraM-II is poised to become a critical asset for the Indian Air Force. Its induction into the IAF’s arsenal by mid-2025 will bolster India’s defensive and offensive capabilities, ensuring enhanced preparedness against diverse threats.
