Q. What is the name of the surface-to-air missile system recently exported by India to Armenia?
Answer: Akash Missile System
Notes: India exported its first Akash weapon system battery to Armenia, marking a new defense export milestone. Akash, a DRDO-developed surface-to-air missile, targets fighter jets, missiles, drones, and other aerial threats within a 25km range. The system includes a Rajendra 3D radar and four launchers with three missiles each, interlinked for coordinated operation. The export reflects India’s growing defense manufacturing, with the Akash system comprising over 96% indigenous components. Armenia is the first foreign buyer; India previously signed a major defense export deal with the Philippines for BrahMos missiles, with the first batch delivered in April 2023.
