Missile destroyer 'Imphal' to be commissioned into Indian Navy on December 26

In a bid to showcase its indigenous weapon systems for potential export, India has successfully exhibited the capabilities of its Akash surface-to-air (SAM) weapon system. During the recent Exercise Astrashakti 2023, a single Akash firing unit effectively engaged and destroyed four unmanned targets simultaneously, marking a significant achievement. This demonstration, conducted by the Indian Air Force, makes India the first country to showcase the capability of engaging four targets simultaneously at such ranges using a single firing unit through command guidance. The exercise took place at Suryalanka Air Force Station on December 12, emphasising India's commitment to enhancing its defence capabilities and potentially entering the global arms market. #Astrashakti #AkashMissileSystem #IndianAirForce #MilitaryExercise #AirDefence #WeaponTechnology #Security #DefenceCapabilities #MissileEngagement #NationalSecurity ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.102~
