The Indian Army has taken a decisive step to strengthen its aerial defences. Its air defence arm has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the induction of the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) system named Anantshastra. The induction is not just the arrival of a missile system; it is India’s leap into a future where battlefield security rests on indigenous innovation. It ensures soldiers fight under a protective dome, confident that their skies are watched over.
