The Indian Army has taken a big step to strengthen air defense. To deal with air threats on Pakistan and China borders, a tender has been issued to buy 5 to 6 regiments ‘infinite weapons’ surface-to-air missile system. This system has been developed by Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
Earlier it was called Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (Qrsam). The estimated cost of this project is around Rs 30,000 crore. Army officials told India Today that this system has played an important role in preventing Pakistani drone attacks during operation vermilion.
