India Receives Igla-S Air Defences From Russia; New Missiles For 'Forward Deployment' Amid Pak Tensions

India has received a fresh shipment of Russian Igla-S air defence missiles amid rising tensions with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. The missiles, capable of intercepting low-flying aircraft and drones, are being rapidly deployed to forward border areas. Procured under emergency powers, the INR 200 crore deal boosts India's short-range air defence. The Army and Air Force are expanding their arsenal with additional orders, indigenous drone-killer systems, and mobile radar units, signalling a high state of readiness amid speculation of a potential Indian military response.
