India receives fresh batch of Igla-S air defence system from Russia.
— Strategic Frontier (@strategicfront) April 8, 2024
India signed the contract with Russia in November last year for 120 launchers and 400 missiles. https://t.co/H35y8Y8WU2
So 24 launchers & 216 missiles in 2021 probably for LoC
120 launchers & 400 missiles in 2023 for LAC
VSHORADS & a Beam Riding Missile (StarStreak) to replace older Igla
Do we know the Indian company which will get the ToT?
And I think we went for ToT deal because we realised that VSHORADS is in the class of RBS70 & Mistral. Not really Man portable like a Stinger & Igla.
So the Igla S ToT might be used in our MPDMS project to deliver a lighter MANPAD in near future.
Thanks for sharing valuable information. This is the Great Deal by Indian Military it strong our army.
Carrier Air Defence Tracked (CADET) system RFI attached.
Proposed Service Employment
(a) For the present RFI, CADET will be fitted with Akashteer Equipment for Self Propelled Air Defence units, details of which are given subsequently. In the future, CADET will also be utilized as a carrier platform for variety of Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) Weapon System for Self Propelled Air Defence units such as Integrated Drone Detection & Interdiction System (IDD&IS), Drone Kill System (DKS) and Vehicle Mounted Counter Swarm Drone System (VMCSDS). After the above mentioned C-UAS weapon systems mature, separate procurements will be carried out with the basic CADET (which would have been trial evaluated by then) serving as the tracked platform for all.
(b) CADET will be deployed in all terrains like plains, deserts, semi-deserts, high altitude & mountainous area (upto 5000m).

Nostalgic..
Prithvi, Agni.. Tunguska
These were the missiles about which I read in news paper that attracted me to defense ..
The Indian Army has achieved a major milestone through the development and phased induction of Project Akashteer.

Recently, a real-time validation of Akashteer was carried out simulating scenarios expected in future wars.

Pretty useful for Counter UAS...swarm, loitering and the likes.
India has successfully tested the Bhargavastra missile, an air defense system designed to combat drones, developed by Economic Explosives Ltd. During the tests, the missiles hit air targets at a distance of 2.5 kilometers and at an altitude of 400 meters. It is reported that the maximum altitude of target destruction can reach five kilometers, while the target's RCS is 0.01. The radar of this air defense, which is resistant to electronic warfare, can detect large and medium drones at a distance of up to 10 kilometers, small drones are detected at a distance of up to 6 kilometers. The Bhargavastra air defense consists of a control center and a radar, launchers with 64 missiles, can be placed on mobile platforms for rapid deployment.
