The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Sunday successfully tested a low-weight indigenously developed man-portable anti-tank guided missile (MPATGM) at its Ahmednagar range, officials said.
It was the second MPATGM test, the DRDO said, adding that the first was tested on Saturday.
“The two flight-tests were for different ranges, including maximum range capability,” a Defence Ministry statement said. “All the mission objectives have been met.”
