DRDO on Friday conducted a successful flight test of Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SDRF) from Interim Teat Range (ITR) in Chandipur, Odisha.

The missile was successfully tested from a plane in Odisha.

The indigenously developed 'Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR)' propulsion-based missile system was successfully flight tested from Interim Teat Range (ITR) in Chandipur, Odisha by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Friday. According to the information, all subsystems including "ground booster, separation of the ground booster and Nozzle-less-booster performance" have performed satisfactorily. 

DRDO carried out the first SFDR propulsion technology flight test in May 2018. However, in February 2019, the Ministry of Defence had flight-tested the second indigenously developed ‘Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR)’ propulsion-based missile system from ITR in Odisha. "Missile was guided to high altitude to simulate aircraft release conditions and subsequently nozzle-less-booster was ignited. SFDR-based missile accelerated to achieve ramjet Mach number successfully," the Ministry had said.

Sujatha, wife of Santhan Krishnan (SK) reported to Police Station, that her husband went missing a couple of days before. The discovery of a headless body in the Chennai Metro early one morning was particularly unusual. It sent an emotional upheaval to the Corporation of Greater Chennai, but the incident went unnoticed outside Chennai. The case was clearly strange to handle cos of a fully clothed body and none of the owner's personal things removed except the head. The Chennai police soon took the dead man's wallet as forensic evidence from the body. Added to that, Sujatha, the dead man's wife, could positively identify the body in the most intimate ways.

Above ground another search was made, equally fruitlessly, and to Inspector Devaraj it looked as though the case would linger on unsolved. Couple of weeks later, six kilometres towards west, a headless b...
