Govt nod for  Israeli SAM system

NEW DELHI: Armys long-pending case for new air defence weapons to protect its tanks and troops as well as vital areas and installations from arial threats has finally got a boost, with the the defence ministry giving the green signal for the various projects. the Army is now on course to procure three regiments of quick-reaction surface-to-air missile (QR-SAM) systems from Israel for around Rs 4,000 crore.

The Defence Acquisitions Council, chaired by defence minister A K Antony, discussed the entire matter on Monday. Though there was no official word, sources said the Israeli SpyDer QR-SAM systems had been selected for the project.
IAF, incidentally, is already well on its way to induct 18 SpyDer systems, at a cost over Rs 1,800 crore, to plug gaps in its own air defence capabilities.

And to think that till the 1980s India was at par with China. Why are those idiots so slow in making defence inductions?

80s upto LATE 90S WERE the lost decades. hardly any decision was taken to modernize the armed forces. it was only when BJP gov came to power that big ticket decisions like SUKHOI30 MKI, AIRCRAFT CARRIER , MRCA , BRAHMOS , ETC WERE TAKEN.
