India today successfully test-fired Anti Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) Nag in desert conditions, defence sources said.
The Nag ATGM has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and today's flight tests have once again proved their capability, they said.
Director General (Missiles and Strategic Systems) G Satheesh Reddy said the technologies pertaining to ATGM to engage targets in different conditions have been established with the successful tests.
