Rajnath Singh congratulates DRDO on 2 successful rapid reaction surface-to-air missile tests

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday congratulated the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) on two successful tests of rapid-reaction surface-to-air missiles.

“Congratulations to @DRDO_India for two successful consecutive rapid reaction surface-to-air missile tests. The first launch test on November 13 demonstrated direct hit missile and radar capabilities. Today’s test demonstrated the performance of the warhead in proximity detection, ”Singh tweeted.

India has successfully tested the Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile air defense system. The missile system ensured a direct hit on its target during the test.

In early November 13, the Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) system achieved an important milestone by directly impacting a Banshee Pilotless target aircraft at medium range and medium altitude.

The missile has been developed as part of the Indian Army’s air defense system.
