The Indian Navy announced on Thursday that its newest indigenous guided missile destroyer, INS Surat, has successfully intercepted and destroyed a quick, low-flying missile goal skimming the sea surface. The successful test marks some other significant breakthroughs in improving India’s defense skills.
Missile Test conducts by Indian Navy’s INS Surat
The test follows closely on the heels of the latest terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu, and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 people and is visible as a stern message to Pakistan, whose ISI and military reportedly hatched the conspiracy of the massacre. It also comes at a time when Pakistan has issued a maritime advisory indicating plans to conduct a floor-to-floor missile test from its Karachi coastline, in its Exclusive Economic Zone, between 24 and 25 April.
Sharing a video of the check release, the Indian Navy stated the cutting-edge Indigenous guided missile destroyer INS Surat achieved a cooperative engagement of a sea-skimming target, marking another milestone in strengthening our defense skills.
PM Modi’s warning to terrorists
Amid the test conduct by INS Surat , Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought a message in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, vowing that the ones responsible would be pursued “to the ends of the earth” and held responsible in his first public address since the 22 April attack, which claimed the lives of 26 peoples—most of them tourists—Modi asserted that India’s resolve against terrorism remains unshaken.
Speaking from Bihar, the Prime Minister start his feedback in English, pointing out, “Friends, today from the soil of Bihar, I say to the complete world—India will discover, track, and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the earth. India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism. Terrorism will not pass unpunished.”
