India carries out test of advanced underwater naval mine
- On May 5, 2025, the Indian Navy, in collaboration with DRDO, successfully conducted combat firing tests of the homegrown Multi-Influence Ground Mine in New Delhi.
- This development occurred amid heightened strain between India and Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians.
- The mine uses multiple sensors to detect acoustic, magnetic, and pressure influences from modern stealth ships and submarines to enhance Indian Navy underwater warfare capabilities.
- Defence Minister Rajnath Singh highlighted that the system will significantly improve the Indian Navy's capabilities in undersea combat, and confirmed that the mine is ready for deployment following successful validation tests.
- This successful trial marks a key step toward self-reliance in defence technologies and strengthens India’s ability to deter hostile underwater threats in maritime zones.
