According to the official statement, Rudram is the country’s first indigenous anti-radiation missile for the Indian Air Force, developed by DRDO, and is integrated on the SU-30 MkI fighter plane as a launch pad, having the ability to vary the ranges depending on the launch conditions. .
“It features INS-GPS navigation with a passive reference head for the final attack. The RUDRAM hit the radiation target with pinpoint accuracy. The passive reference head can detect, classify and engage targets on a wide band of frequencies as scheduled, “he said.
The statement added that the missile is a powerful weapon for the Indian Air Force for the effective suppression of enemy air defense from great safety distances.
“With this, the country has established an indigenous capability to develop long-range air-launched anti-radiation missiles to neutralize enemy radars, communication sites and other RF-emitting targets,” the statement said.
