2. It was tested in Rajasthan in May 2024.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below :

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

Both statements are incorrect based on official records from the Press Information Bureau (PIB) and the Ministry of Defence.

  • Statement 1 is incorrect: RudraM-II is an indigenously developed air-to-surface missile, not an air-to-air missile. It is a solid-propelled, high-speed missile system designed for the Suppression of Enemy Air Defences (SEAD) by targeting enemy ground-based radar and communication installations.
  • Statement 2 is incorrect: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully flight-tested the RudraM-II from a Su-30 MK-I platform on May 29, 2024. However, the test was conducted off the coast of Odisha at the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur, and not in Rajasthan. The performance was validated using range instrumentation and an on-board ship, confirming a sea-range trial.

RudraM-II incorporates advanced indigenous technologies, including a state-of-the-art propulsion system and guidance algorithms, providing the Indian Air Force with critical stand-off strike capabilities.
