The Indian Army test-fired the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile and the Akash semi-mobile surface-to-air missile (SAM) in two separate exercises that took place in late March.

The BrahMos test was carried out by the Rising Sun missile unit of the Indian Army's Eastern Command in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. According to a social media post by Eastern Command, the missile hit the target “precisely”.

The Akash test was conducted by the 128 Air Defence Missile Regiment – also known as Sky Gladiators – of the army's Western Command at an unknown location.

According to the footage released by Western Command, the Akash missile was seen intercepting an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying at an altitude of 30 km during the test.

Both the drills were carried out to assess the operational readiness of the Indian Army to conduct operations with these missiles.
