Indian Army Poised for Major Air Defence Upgrade with QRSAM Acquisition
- The Indian Ministry of Defence is scheduled to evaluate a plan this June to acquire three units of the indigenous QRSAM air defence system for deployment with the Army.
- This proposal follows Operation Sindoor, during which India’s air defence thwarted multiple Pakistani drone and missile attacks from May 7 to 10.
- The QRSAM system, developed by DRDO, can intercept aerial threats within a 25-30 km range while on the move, complementing existing systems like Akash and MRSAM.
- The deal is valued at ₹30,000 crore and aims to enhance border air defence by adding mobile, day-and-night effective missiles to the multi-layered network.
- The Defence Acquisition Council, under the leadership of Rajnath Singh, is slated to review the proposal for acquiring three regiments of the indigenous QR-SAM system by late June, a move aimed at enhancing the Army’s capability to counter aerial threats along the Pakistan border.
