India successfully tests DRDO's long range land attack cruise missile

India's LRLACM modeled on US Tomahawk

The LRLACM is modeled after the US Tomahawk, but with upgrades: think longer range, smarter guidance, and the ability to fly low to dodge radar.
It can hit targets accurately with a hefty 500-kilogram warhead and reach speeds up to Mach 0.8.
With rivals like Pakistan and China already fielding similar missiles, this success gives India's strategic edge a real boost.

The LRLACM will go through more tests before joining the military in about two years.
