This is the second fire test of the QRSAM system. The first took place on November 13, 2020, when the target was also hit by a direct hit. The second test confirmed the operating parameters of the warhead.

The Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) and extended Range Surface-to-Air Missile (XRSAM) are air defense systems developed by the defense research and development Organization (DRDO) in collaboration with Bharat Electronics Limited and Bharat Dynamics Limited for the Indian army. According to the developers, QRSAM missiles are equipped with electronic anti-jamming devices and can hit targets at a distance of up to 30 km. They are guided by an inertial navigation system with a two-way data link, and the homing head is activated on approach to the target.
