Of course, but such iterative tests do not earn fulsome praise from top honchos, only a breakthrough technology.

DRDO Chairman G Satheesh Reddy too congratulated the scientists and all personnel involved in the test-firing of the missile which he said will add to the capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces in many ways.

Good to hear indigenous hardware getting the spotlight :) I am hearing of SMART & RudraM1 for the first time. These were test fired in the last 3-4 days. Both seems to have met their objectives. So, what's next? Summer trails, winter trials, rainy/monsoon trials, day and/or night trials . . Can...

We do not need to always think that we would use SMART only in IOR. We may have to use it in Indo-China Sea too. I would be happy to see its use there.
