In a major development, #DRDO will incorporate advanced features from the Chinese #PL15 air-to-air missile into India’s indigenous Astra Mark-2 program. The PL-15E missile, recovered intact during #OperationSindoor near Hoshiarpur in Punjab, has provided crucial insights into radar technology, Mach 5+ propulsion, and anti-jamming capabilities. These advancements will boost Astra-II’s range and performance, strengthening India’s aerial defence capabilities.
