DRDO Conducts Maiden Trial of Python-5 Air-to-Air Missile
Tejas, India’s indigenous Light Combat Aircraft, added the fifth generation Python-5 Air-to-Air Missile (AAM) in its air-to-air weapons capability in trials conducted on April 27, 2021. The trials were also to validate enhanced capability of already-integrated Derby Beyond Visual Range (BVR) AAM on Tejas. The test firing at Goa completed a series of missile trials to validate its performance under extremely challenging scenarios. Derby missile achieved direct hit on a high-speed manoeuvring aerial target and the Python missiles also achieved 100 per cent hits, thereby validating their capability. The trials met all their planned objectives. The successful conduct was made possible with years of hard work by the team of scientists, engineers and technicians from ADA and HAL-ARDC along with admirable support from CEMILAC, DG-AQA, IAF PMT, NPO (LCA Navy) and INS HANSA. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has congratulated the team.
