Quick Reaction Surface to Air (QRSAM) Missile

India’s state-owned Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) successfully flight-tested the indigenously designed Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM).

  • The QRSAM missile uses solid fuel propellant and it is a highly mobile air defence system which can destroy multiple targets at a distance of 25 to 30 km.
  • It is a canister based all-weather and all-terrain missile having electronic counter measures against all known aircraft jammers.
  • It can also deceive enemy radars making it difficult to be detected, and is capable of destroying aerial targets, tanks, bunkers and short range missiles.
