In December last year, the Indian Air Force showcased the capability of the
Akash missile system to engage four aerial targets simultaneously at a range
of 25 kilometres.
India became the first country to have such a capability using a single firing
unit, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said.
"India became first country to demonstrate the capability of engagement of 04
aerial targets simultaneously at 25Km ranges by command guidance using single
firing unit. The test was conducted by @IAF_MCC using Akash Weapon System,"
the DRDO said in a post on 'X'.
The capability of the home-grown missile system was displayed at the
'Astrashakti' military exercise on December 12, according to reports. It added
that the exercise was held by the Indian Air Force (IAF).
The Akash, with a range of up to 25 km, is a short-range surface to air
missile primarily used for protecting vulnerable areas and points from air
attacks.The missile system is among the key platforms that India is exporting
to friendly foreign countries.
The other key platforms that India has been exporting are Dornier-228
aircraft, 155 mm Advanced Towed Artillery Guns (ATAGs), Brahmos missiles, mine
protected vehicles, armoured vehicles, ammunition, thermal imagers and various
components of avionics and small arms.
