India successfully tested the Astra missile, developed by DRDO, marking a major milestone in indigenous defence capabilities. Key Features: 🔹 Range: 100 KM 🔹 Supersonic speed 🔹 Fully indigenous design and development. Under the vision of PM Narendra Modi, India continues to strengthen its defence forces by building capabilities “not importing them” — aligning with the Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) initiative. This test demonstrates India’s ability to hit on its terms, enhancing both national security and technological pride.
