Tejas, the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) LSP-7, has achieved a successful milestone by launching the indigenous ASTRA Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air-to-air missile off the coast of Goa. The missile was released from the aircraft at an altitude of approximately 20,000 ft, meeting all test objectives flawlessly. The Defence Ministry hailed it as a "perfect textbook launch."
