India Army To Aquire Qrsams

摘要

22 May 08. The Indian Army has been successful in persuading the Indian government to buy Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) systems and missiles from overseas without waiting for the completion of the homegrown QRSAM. The Indian defence ministry is now on a global hunt to purchase QRSAM missiles worth billions of dollars.rnThe homegrown QRSAM, Akash, under development for over two decades has not come up to the expectations of the Indian Army and they chose to go to the international market to buy their requirement of QRSAM systems and missiles to meet the urgent needs of the air defence requirements, said a senior Indian Army official. "There are already holes in Indian Army's air defence system, and we cannot afford to wait for the homegrown system any longer", said the Army official.
