The Indian Army has signed MoU with Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to raise one regiment of the advanced Medium Range Surface to Air Missiles (MRSAM) defence system.
The MRSAM is an advanced, all weather, mobile, land-based air defence
system. It can shoot down enemy ballistic missiles, aircraft,
helicopters, drones, surveillance aircraft and AWACS aircraft. It is
capable of engaging multiple aerial targets at ranges of more than 50
km. The system will be jointly developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and DRDO with the involvement of DPSUs and private sectors.
