The Indian Navy’s INS Surat, an advanced destroyer, recently conducted a successful test-fire of a medium-range surface-to-air missile in the Arabian Sea. With a range of 70 km, the test demonstrated the ship’s capabilities since its commissioning in January 2025. INS Surat proudly showcases India’s naval self-reliance with 75% indigenous content, highlighting the country’s advancements in defense technology. This test comes on the heels of Prime Minister Modi’s stern warning to terrorists in the wake of the Pahalgam attack, where he pledged decisive action and justice. The successful missile test further reinforces India’s commitment to strengthening its defense capabilities and safeguarding its waters.
