- India’s latest and most advanced air-to-air missile, the Astra MK-III, has now been officially renamed Gandiva.
- It will have an ability to strike enemy aerial targets from a range of 340 kilometers when the target is at an altitude of 20 kilometers, and 190 kilometers when the target is at a lower altitude of 8 kilometers.
- With the eventual induction of Gandiva, India will possess one of the longest-range BVR air-to-air missiles in the world.
- This will allow India to surpass China’s PL-15 missile, which has a range of 300 kilometers, and the U.S. AIM-174 BVRAAM, which has a confirmed range of 240 kilometers.
