DRDO Successfully Tests Indigenous Third-Generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile

India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully flight-tested an indigenous third-generation, fire-and-forget Man Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile (MPATGM) with top-attack capability against a moving target on January 11, 2026. The missile incorporates advanced indigenous technologies and is designed to defeat modern main battle tanks. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh lauded the test as a significant step towards 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India). The successful trial paves the way for the MPATGM's induction into the Indian Army.
