The Army is all set to begin receiving another set of Russian Igla-S very short-range air defense systems (VSHORAD) by the end of May or early next month, filling a critical void in its air defense requirements which has been repeatedly delayed. In another development, multiple sources confirmed that the payments issue between India and Russia that has held up critical payments for defense deals as well as payments has been resolved. The Army is also set to receive the first of two Israeli Hermes-900 Medium Altitude Long Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) assembled by ADSTL in Hyderabad next month. He Igla-S systems were contracted last year under the fourth tranche of Emergency Procurements (EP) and are being assembled by Adani Defense Systems and Technologies Limited (ADSTL) in India under technology transfer from Rosoboronexport, multiple official sources confirmed. Under this, the Army contracted 48 Igla-S launchers, 100 missiles, 48-night sights and one missile testing station under a ₹260 crore contract and deliveries are set to begin by end-May 2024.
