Indian Navy's indigenous missile destroyer INS Mormugao has successfully engaged a supersonic floating target at sea.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had dedicated the missile destroyer warship 'Mormugao' to the Indian Navy in December last year. INS Mormugao is named after the historic port city of Goa on the west coast.

One of the mighty warships built in India, INS Mormugao, weighing 7,400 tonnes, is 163 meters in length and 17 meters in breadth. It is equipped with missiles like BrahMos and Barak-8. It is equipped with Israel's MF-STAR radar, which can detect long-range targets in the air.

Both the ship and the weapons used in it are indigenous, which is a symbol of self-reliance.
