Why don't you buy it from Russia? For India, Russia is more dependable than the USA.

This is a one sort buy unlike aircraft where a long term sustainable supply is necessary. We shall buy it whosoever provides best quality.

India has successfully conducted three successive flight-trials of Very Short-Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) from Chandipur off the coast of the Bay of Bengal in eastern state of Odisha, the defence ministry announced today.

VSHORADS is a manually-portable air defence missile system designed and developed indigenously which has the capability to meet the needs of army, navy and air force, it said in a statement.

During all the three flight-tests carried out by Defence Research and Development Organisation against high-speed targets flying at low altitude, the missiles intercepted and completely destroyed the targets having reduced thermal signature mimicking low-flying drones at different flying conditions.

The flight-tests were carried out in final deployment configuration where in two field operators carried out weapon readiness, target acquisition and missile firing, according to the statement.

The flight data captured by various range instruments like Telemetry, Electro-Optical Tracking System and Radar deployed by Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, confirmed the pin-point accuracy and established the capability of VSHORADS missile system in neutralising drones along with other classes of aerial threats, said the statement.​
