India has mastered the production of Israeli missiles for air defense systems. Yesterday, March 16, the portal indiatimes.com He reported that KRAS has delivered the first batch of MRSAM missiles to the Indian Army and Air Force.

MRSAM, also known as Barak 8, is a ground-based modification of the LRSAM ship-based interceptor missiles. The Barak-8 air defense system, armed with missiles of the same name, was developed by the Israeli company IAI in partnership with the Indian state organization DRDO on the basis of the Barak air defense system, which was adopted by the Israeli army in 1987. Initially, the Barak-8 was created as a ship-based missile (the first launch took place in 1999). In 2014, IAI and DRDO began work on the creation of a land-based Barak-8 air defense system.
