India successfully flight tests surface-to-air missile

India on Friday successfully test-fired the Vertical Launch Short Range Surface to Air Missile (VLSRSAM) for the second consecutive day from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur on the Odisha coast, defence sources said.

A statement from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) confirmed that both tests on September 12 and 13 were successful.

"In both the tests, the missile successfully intercepted a high-speed low altitude aerial target mimicking sea skimming aerial target," the statement said.
