The Indian Army successfully tested Rudrastra, a Hybrid Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) developed by Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited (SDAL). The trial met all Army requirements, including vertical takeoff, high endurance, precision targeting, and mission flexibility. Rudrastra flew over 50 km radius with a stable real-time video link and returned safely to its launch point. Its total range exceeded 170 km with about 1.5 hours of flight endurance. It dropped a precision-guided anti-personnel warhead that detonated in air, showing strong tactical impact.
