Don't know how true it is, he is saying the range, warhead everything is similar to igla.

I think the user is now involved directly even in developmental trials. So even if it has fault our scientists would fix it. Import lovers can have their "limited" laugh for now.

It seems as if their laugh was indeed limited, lol:

QRSAM induction on track. Jai Hind

QRSAM, Helina on show at the ISC expo in Nagpur. QRSAM speed is 4.7 mach all weather all terrain use. Imo it would easily cover 40km+ bubble due to sheer momentum. This might turn out to be a very good point defense sam.

What happened to not reaching the desired response time to fire the missile?

Old critic article even mentioned even though there is nothing wrong with missile itself, but the response time was slower for the army.

Guess anti-drone capabilities need to be incorporated. Glad the Ukraine war has helped.

That's not a change though, it's just an upgrade. It shouldn't affect QRs.

user feedback, imo this is what interpreted by media as such. Otherwise why the industrial partners be expecting order very soon? Other minor tweaks with the radar will probably be handled internally.

QRSAM ordered apparently , 5 systems.

The Indian Army has ordered five Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) weapon systems, manufacturer Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) told Janes at the Aero India 2023 show in Bangalore.

A BEL official told Janes that the company will deliver all five weapon systems to the Indian Army by 2024. “A QRSAM weapon system comprises one Regiment Command Post Vehicle (RCPV), which acts as the mind of the system,” he said.

“One RCPV is connected with three battery units. A battery unit consists of a Battery Command Post Vehicle (BCPV) and a Battery Surveillance Radar Vehicle (BSRV). Further, one battery unit is connected with four combat groups (CGs),” the official added.

A CG comprises a multifunctional radar unit that can engage with 10 targets and a multilaunch rocket vehicle that equips six QRSAM rockets, the official said. “So, one QRSAM weapon system consists of 72 QRSAM rockets. Apart from all of this, a system also has one logistic vehicle for carrying rockets.”

India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is developing the QRSAM for the Indian Army in tandem with public sector companies Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and BEL.

A DRDO official told Janes that the first phase of user trials of QRSAM rockets was held in September 2022. “The first phase established pinpoint accuracy of the rockets and the system was ready for induction in the Indian Army,” he added.
