Indian Navy on Monday conducted a successful trial of Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM) amid a massive preparation drive of the Armed Forces in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. The indigenously designed weapon has been jointly developed by Visakhapatnam’s Naval Science and Technological Laboratory and DRDO. In this test, a reduced quantity of explosive material was used to ensure compliance with safety standards.  

“Validation trials of Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM) was successfully conducted by DRDO and India Navy. MIGM is designed to enhance the Indian Navy's capabilities against the modern stealth ships and submarines,” DRDO posted on X.

This mine is capable of targeting enemy ships under the sea. MIGM has been fully developed using indigenous technology for the first time in India. Its deployment will enhance the Navy’s strength and bolster maritime security.

"Complimenting DRDO, Indian Navy and the Industry, Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh stated that the system will further enhance undersea warfare capabilities of the Indian Navy," a release by the Defence Ministry read.

India is vehemently planning a military action to avenge the killing of 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. The tri-forces are being reinforced to deal with any misadventure by Pakistan. 

Earlier, the Indian Navy’s indigenously built warship INS Surat successfully carried out a precision strike on a fast-moving target at sea. The indigenous guided missile destroyer hit the target at sea. This achievement has made the Navy even more powerful, showcasing the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) in the defence sector.
