India successfully tested advanced ramjet missile tech, boosting long-range air-to-air capabilities.
India successfully tested Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) propulsion technology on February 3, 2026, from Chandipur, Odisha, marking a major leap in long-range air-to-air missile capabilities.
The test, conducted at around 10:45 a.m., involved a ground booster accelerating the vehicle to supersonic speed, followed by the ramjet engine sustaining thrust during cruise.
All subsystems—including the nozzle-less booster, SFDR motor, and fuel flow controller—performed as expected, with flight data confirming success.
The achievement places India among a select group of nations with advanced ramjet technology and supports the development of next-generation missiles like the Astra Mk-3, expected to have a range beyond 350 km and enter production by 2028.
