New Delhi, 12/4: India on Monday successfully test-fired a locally developed anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), Helina, from the advanced light helicopter (ALH) at high altitude, paving the way for the weapon’s integration with the chopper, the defence ministry said on Monday.
The latest test came on the back of a series of trials conducted at the Pokhran firing range in Rajathan.
Helina or helicopter-based Nag missile, can strike targets up to seven km away.
The fire-and-forget missile, guided by an infrared imaging seeker system, successfully engaged a simulated tank target at high-altitude ranges, the defence ministry said in a statement. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the Indian Air Force and the army jointly conducted the test.
