DRDO & IAF conduct successful flight-tests of RudraM-II Air-to-Surface Missile
Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Air Force (IAF) have conducted the successful flight-tests of RudraM-II Air-to-Surface Missile from an airborne platform. The tests were conducted under extreme release conditions with critical trajectory establishing the capability of all subsystems.The missiles after release were guided to a predefined target with pin-point accuracy. All the test objectives were fully met as confirmed by the flight data captured by various range instruments deployed by Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur.
Rudram-II has been indigenously developed by Research Centre Imarat, Hyderabad as the nodal DRDO laboratory in collaboration with other sister labs such as Defence Research and Development Laboratory, High Energy Materials Research Laboratory, Armament Research & Development Establishment & ITR. Along with the Development cum Production Partners (DcPPs), agencies like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness, Missile System Quality Assurance Agency and many other industries have contributed significantly towards achieving this goal.
Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has lauded the effort of DRDO, IAF, DPSUs, DcPPs and the industry for the successful flight-tests. He stated that the tests have demonstrated the growing maturity of indigenous defence technologies, contributing significantly to Aatmanirbharta in advance weapon systems.
Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO has congratulated all the teams associated with the test for the commendable achievement.
Both RudraM 2 & 3 would be extremely effective in destroying enemies' fixed radar sites and other military installations.

all rudrams are ARM, they can be used fro ground attack as well but each and everyone is equipped for ARM.
Huh, didn't notice it before. Multiple rounds fired, from the same aircraft? That's new, maybe even the first of its kind test. I don't remember reading anywhere about a Su-30MKI deploying multiple AGMs in one go
I thought the seeker, WH sizes (dummy payload for this test), flight profile, etc. were different? I assume the validation plans would therefore be different -- and I'm wondering what they tested here. I assume they tested both roles but it isn't clear to me from the press release.
In production.
Rudram 1 comes only in ARM version. Rudram 2 and 3 come with ARM + IIR, and ground attack versions with IIR only.
Multiple AGMs being deployed is meant for salvo attacks against hardened targets. You would need 2, 3 or more to get through a single hardened target.
There have been no confirmed orders of Rudram 1. How do you know its in production?
DAC cleared it in 2022 and user trials happened in 2024. So it's under limited production now.
Also the DAC clearance was for Rs.1400 crore worth of Rudram-1 missiles.
Any orders less than Rs.2000 crore do not require CCS clearance AFAIK
