 According to information published by the Indian Ministry of Defense on August 4, 2022, Indian-made Laser-Guided Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) were successfully test-fired from the Main Battle Tank (MBT) Arjun by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Army at KK Ranges with support of Armoured Corps Centre & School (ACC&S) Ahmednagar in Maharashtra.

The missiles hit with precision and successfully destroyed the targets at two different ranges. Telemetry systems have recorded the satisfactory flight performance of the missiles.

The all-indigenous Laser Guided ATGM employs a tandem High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) warhead to defeat Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) protected armored vehicles. The ATGM has been developed with multi-platform launch capability and is currently undergoing technical evaluation trials from the 120 mm rifled gun of MBT Arjun.

The Arjun is a Main Battle Tank (MBT fully designed and manufactured by the Indian Defense Industry. The design of the first generation of Arjun tank started in 1986 and was finalized in 1996. It entered into service with the Indian army in 2004. In 2010, the DRDO proposed an improved variant of the Arjun designated as the Arjun MK2 as the next step in the program. The main armament of the Arjun tank consists of a 120 mm rifled gun.
