​🔆 DRDO conducts successful flight-test of Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile

​🌟 Summary

✅ Ministry : Ministry of Defence (DRDO)

✅ Scheme : Flight-test of LRLACM

✅ Venue : Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha

✅ Date : 15 June 2026

✅ Objective: To validate the precision, range, and subsystem reliability of India's newest indigenous cruise missile framework.

✅ One-line core essence of the article : DRDO significantly bolstered India's strategic offensive arsenal by successfully testing a highly precise, long-range cruise missile designed entirely through indigenous capabilities.

​♻️ Key Highlights

🔹 Flawless Execution: The Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile (LRLACM) successfully met all test objectives, continuously tracked by a network of electro-optical systems and telemetry deployed at the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur.
🔹 Total Indigenization: All sub-systems were developed by DRDO laboratories in deep collaboration with Indian industry partners, pushing the Make in India defense agenda.
🔹 Nodal Agency: The Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), Bengaluru, acted as the primary nodal laboratory for the missile's design and development.

​🔍 Important Concepts

✅ About Cruise Missiles

📍 Key Features: Unlike ballistic missiles which follow a parabolic trajectory, cruise missiles remain within the atmosphere and fly closer to the ground (terrain-hugging) to evade enemy radar networks, delivering extreme precision strikes.

​🗿 Crux

✅ The successful validation of the LRLACM marks a vital enhancement in India's "stand-off" strike capabilities.

✅ By developing a sovereign long-range cruise framework, India drastically reduces its reliance on foreign missile systems, ensuring independent, precision-strike deterrence against hostile borders.

​🧠 Prelims Focus

🔹 Missile Type: Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile (LRLACM).
🔹 Locations: Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island (Odisha), ITR Chandipur.
🔹 Agencies: DRDO, ADE (Bengaluru).
