Which of the following indigenously developed underwater naval mines was successfully tested by DRDO and the Indian Navy in May 2025?
मई में और द्वारा स्वदेशी रूप से विकसित निम्नलिखित में से किस अंडरवाटर नेवल माइन का सफलतापूर्वक परीक्षण किया गया?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Multi-Influence Ground Mine/ मल्टी-इन्फ्लुएंस ग्राउंड माइन
🟢 Explanation
In May 2025, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Navy successfully conducted combat firing of the indigenously developed Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM).
- It is an advanced underwater naval mine.
- Developed by Naval Science & Technological Laboratory (NSTL), Visakhapatnam.
- Designed to detect multiple influences like:
- Acoustic (sound)
- Magnetic field
- Pressure signatures
- It helps in targeting modern stealth ships and submarines.
👉 This successful test strengthens India’s undersea warfare capability and supports Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliance in defence).
हिन्दी में व्याख्या:
मई 2025 में Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) और Indian Navy ने स्वदेशी रूप से विकसित मल्टी-इन्फ्लुएंस ग्राउंड माइन (MIGM) का सफल परीक्षण किया।
- यह एक उन्नत अंडरवाटर नेवल माइन है।
- इसे NSTL, विशाखापत्तनम द्वारा विकसित किया गया है।
- यह निम्न संकेतों के आधार पर दुश्मन जहाजों को पहचानती है:
- ध्वनि (Acoustic)
- चुंबकीय क्षेत्र (Magnetic)
- दबाव (Pressure)
- यह स्टील्थ जहाजों और पनडुब्बियों के खिलाफ प्रभावी है।
👉 यह परीक्षण भारत की समुद्री रक्षा क्षमता (Undersea Warfare) को मजबूत करता है और आत्मनिर्भर भारत को बढ़ावा देता है।
❌ Why other options are incorrect:
- Varunastra (वरुणास्त्र) → Torpedo (not a mine)
- Barak Mine (बाराक माइन) → No such DRDO mine
- Sea Dragon (सी ड्रैगन) → Not related to DRDO naval mine
Extra Facts
- MIGM can be deployed from:
- Ships 🚢
- Submarines 🚤
- It is part of India’s push for indigenous defence technology
- Production partners include:
- Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL)
- Apollo Microsystems
Final Answer: Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM) / मल्टी-इन्फ्लुएंस ग्राउंड माइन
