India has successfully test-fired the UAV Launched Precision Guided Missile (ULPGM)-V3 from a drone at the National Open Area Range in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. Conducted by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the flight trials mark a major boost to India’s missile capabilities. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hailed the achievement, congratulating DRDO and its industry partners, including DcPPs, MSMEs, and start-ups. The success demonstrates India’s readiness to absorb and produce critical defence technologies. The ULPGM-V3 enhances precision strike capabilities from unmanned aerial vehicles, reducing risk to personnel and expanding strategic flexibility. This milestone aligns with India’s push for self-reliance in defence under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
