Indian army RS 30,000 Crore ‘Anant Shastra’ to support the Air Force
With a major increase in indigenousization in the defense sector, the Indian Army issued a tender to buy missile weapons systems from five to six ‘Anant Shastra’ surface to strengthen air defense throughout the borders with Pakistan and China. Defense officials told the Anı that the tender was given to the Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) by the Indian Army to buy the Anant Shastra Air Defense Missile System, which was previously known as the Rapid Reaction surface.
The project, which is estimated to cost around 30,000 RS Crore, said that the Indian Army, which played an important role in preventing Pakistan drone attacks during the Sindoor operation, will strengthen the air defense. The Indian army runs AAD, MR-SAM, Akash and other small air defense systems and works integrated with Indian Air Force to protect against air threats. The Defense Council cleared the project to purchase domestic air defense systems shortly after the Sindoor action in May. After approved, the extremely active and agile system will be deployed along the borders of both the West and northern.
Anant Shastra air defense systems are very active because they can search for targets in the movement and watch and shoot at short stops. Missile system performance was extensively evaluated during the trials both in both day and night operational scenarios.
During the four-day conflict with Pakistan, using Chinese weapons, the Indian Army’s air defense units, using the L-70 and ZU-23 air defense weapons, destroyed the majority of unmanned aerial vehicles, while Akash and MRSAM played an important role with Indian Air Force Spyder and Sudarshan S-400 air defense systems.
The Army Air Defense also receives some new radars with Jammer and laser -based systems to deal with Turkish and Chinese -based drones in the Pakistan Army. The army chief Gen Upndra Dwivedi forces the increasing indigenousization of power. Future domestic systems that are likely to join the army include ZoraWar Light Tank and various other air defense systems.
