IAF's Tigers squadron successfully test fires MICA missile
The missile achieved a 'direct hit' on a target which was much smaller than an actual aircraft and flying at low altitude.
The target was destroyed on missile impact validating the launch envelope of the missile.
With the success of this mission, the IAF has become one of the few Air Forces in the world with the capability of such long range Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air missile.
The operational success of this mission confirms a critical capability of Indian Air Force.
