New Delhi | July 25, 2025 — India’s indigenous defence development got a major boost today as the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted successful flight trials of its Advanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Launched Precision Guided Missile – V3.
The test, held at an undisclosed location in India, marked a technological breakthrough in India’s drone warfare capability. The PGM-V3, an advanced air-to-ground guided missile, was launched from a high-endurance combat UAV and hit its target with pinpoint accuracy, according to official DRDO sources.
The missile is jointly developed by DRDO laboratories namely Research Centre Imarat, Defence Research and Development Laboratory, Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory, High-Energy Materials Research Laboratory, Integrated Test Range and Defence Electronics Research Laboratory. The present trials were carried out for the Anti-armour configuration.
🔍 Highlights of the Test:
✅ Missile launched from a fully indigenous UAV ✅ Target neutralized with high-precision strike capability ✅ Enhances India’s stand-off and unmanned strike power ✅ Designed for low-collateral damage missions in strategic zones
DRDO scientists called it a “game-changer” in asymmetrical warfare, especially for counterterrorism operations, surgical strikes, and high-risk border patrols.
“The PGM-V3 system reflects DRDO’s continued innovation in indigenous defence capabilities. Its successful test will accelerate deployment for mission-critical scenarios,” said a senior DRDO official.
The missile system features GPS-assisted navigation, autonomous target locking, and the ability to operate in all-weather combat conditions.
