DRDO test-fires SFDR tech that can lead to faster missiles
India's DRDO has successfully tested its Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) technology at Chandipur, Odisha.
This is a big deal because SFDR uses air from the atmosphere instead of carrying heavy oxidizers, making missiles lighter and able to travel farther—think speeds between Mach 3 and Mach 6.
SFDR will help in developing long-range air-to-air missiles
With SFDR, India can now work on long-range air-to-air missiles and chase down fast-moving targets.
Only a handful of countries have this tech, so it's a proud moment for Indian innovation.
DRDO's chief Dr. Samir V Kamat and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh gave heartfelt shoutouts to everyone involved.
India joins an elite club with this successful test
This test is a milestone for India's Air Force—expect stronger capabilities in hitting threats from far away.
With SFDR, India joins an elite club in advanced missile tech, boosting both confidence and security.
