DRDO conducts successful flight-test of Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile

• LRLACM = indigenous, sub-sonic, long-range land-attack cruise missile being developed by DRDO as a successor-class capability to the Nirbhay programme.
• Designed for dual-launch — from a ground-based mobile articulated launcher and from frontline ships via Universal Vertical Launch Module (UVLM).
• Matters for UPSC because it sits at the intersection of Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence, indigenous missile architecture, and strategic deterrence (GS-III: Defence Tech / Internal Security).
