In a major push to induct made-in-Indai weapon systems, the Indian Air Force has moved a proposal worth over Rs 1,400 crore to the government for acquiring Rudram next general anti-radiation missiles ( NGARM)) to search and destroy enemy radar locations.

Quoting sources in the defence ministry, the news agency ANI is reporting a
“proposal for acquisition of advanced missiles developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation is with the Defence Ministry and a high-level meeting would soon be taking a call on it,”

The next-generation anti-radiation missiles have already been tested by the Indian Air Force from its Sukhoi-30 fighter aircraft fleet and can destroy enemy radar locations during conflicts, they said.
The NGARM can be fired from IAF fighters like the Sukhoi-30 and the Mirage-2000. It is accurate and has been developed with the capability to even track a radar system even if it is not operating.

It is a matter a fact that NGARM is India’s first indigenously developed anti-radiation missile that has a speed of Mach two or twice the speed of sound.
