WATCH: Indian Navy successfully tests surface-to-air missile system from warship, hits low flying target with accuracy

The Indian Navy on Thursday shared a video of it successfully testing surface-to-air (SAM) missile system from warship by taking down a low flying target.

The video posted by the Indian Navy on Twitter shows the SAM system moving towards the target at a lightning speed after being launched from a guided-missile anti-submarine stealth frigate. The missile is seen hitting the object right above the surface.

The 36-second clip starts with the missile coming out of its silo on the warship. It is then moving to take the right position to hit the target. After it is launched, the missile moves towards its target and a blast is heard, as well as seen, just above the waters.

Watch Your Navy's guided-missile anti-submarine stealth frigate do what it does best - successfully engage a low flying target with its SAM system, reaffirming the mantra of her crew, HIT FIRST! HIT HARD! Congrats to the team for a text book bullseye!"

The Indian Navy often tests its weapons to improve them. It is also inducting new ships to its fleet to enhance its strength.
