Indian Army seeks major purchase of 1,000 local-built QRSAM missiles The mobile quick reaction surface-to-air missile (QRSAM) system is designed to protect mechanized and armored units from fighter jets, helicopters, drones and other low-to-medium altitude threats. Unlike traditional, stationary air-defense batteries, this highly mobile weapon system with a range of about 30 km and the ability to engage targets at altitudes of up to 10 km, allows units to keep pace with advancing forces. The deal is worth $1.2 billion, Indian media report. The planned acquisition would further expand India’s domestic missile production while giving the army a highly mobile layer of air defense between long-range systems and shorter-range defenses.

Ukraine underestimated the threat posed by Russia's jet-powered Shaheds, says Roman Kostenko, secretary of parliament's national security committee. Ukraine is scaling domestically produced surface-to-air missiles, developing interceptor drones and adapting aircraft against the faster targets. Kostenko said a shortage of AIM-9 air-to-air missiles means Ukrainian pilots sometimes engage the drones with onboard guns at close range, risking damage to their aircraft from debris. #Ukraine

As part of "upgrading readiness for future threats," the Defense Ministry says it successfully completed a series of "complex" tests with the David's Sling medium-range air defense system. David's Sling, produced by defense firm Rafael, is designed to intercept rockets, missiles, cruise missiles, aircraft, and UAVs. The ministry says the series of tests was based on "operational lessons" learned from the war, and included a "range of challenging scenarios in line with existing and evolving threats." "The success of the tests constitutes an additional technological and operational breakthrough in upgrading the system, which demonstrated high performance capabilities during the war with successful interceptions that saved lives and prevented significant damage," it says. David’s Sling, operational since 2017, forms the middle tier of Israel’s multi-layer air defense capabilities, which also include the short-range Iron Beam and Iron Dome, and a top-tier of Arrow systems, the latter of which are intended to engage long-range ballistic missiles.

India has successfully tested the indigenous RudraM-II anti-radiation missile from a Su-30MKI fighter aircraft. Designed to detect and destroy enemy radars, air-defense systems, and electronic warfare assets, the missile is expected to play a key role in future air operations. With a reported range of around 300 km and speeds exceeding Mach 5, RudraM-II strengthens India's ability to suppress enemy air defenses while advancing the country's push toward self-reliance in advanced military technology. #drdo #missiles #su30mki #MissileStrike #indianairforce

Russian report: Gulf air defenses face a “million-dollar missile vs. a drone costing a few thousand dollars” dilemma The Russian Center for Analysis of World Arms Trade published a study and analysis concluding that Gulf states’ reliance on long-range U.S. air defense systems against low-cost threats such as attack drones creates a significant gap between the cost of the attack and the cost of interception. The center noted that an Iranian Shahed-136 drone is estimated to cost around $20,000–$50,000 , while a PAC-3 interceptor missile can cost approximately $4 million , making the interception of large-scale drone attacks extremely expensive. The report argues that systems such as Patriot and THAAD were largely designed to counter long-range threats and ballistic missiles, while Gulf states need diversified defensive layers, including short- and medium-range systems to counter drones, cruise missiles, and low-altitude targets. The center proposed strengthening air defenses with Russian systems such as Buk-M3 “Viking” for medium-range defense, Tor for short-range defense, and Pantsir-S1M to protect critical infrastructure from close-range threats. According to the report, combining long-, medium-, and short-range systems could increase the number of engagement channels and reduce the depletion of costly interceptor missiles, particularly around oil refineries, desalination plants, ports, and energy facilities. The Russian center concludes that addressing the cost gap between offensive weapons and interceptors could make large-scale drone attacks less economically viable by building a layered defense system capable of countering threats at a more balanced cost.
