India Tests Drone Missile: Boost for Defence Capabilities
India's defense researchers tested a new missile that can be launched from drones.
This means the missile flies from a drone to hit its target very accurately.
The tests happened in Kurnool, India.
The government is happy about this because it makes India's military stronger.
This new tech helps because of lessons from past conflicts.
India is also spending money to make more drones and drone parts.
The goal is to make India less dependent on getting these things from other countries.
