India’s defense arsenal is poised for a significant upgrade with the imminent arrival of the latest batch of Igla-S very short-range air defense systems. Scheduled for delivery by the end of May 2024 to early June 2024, these systems mark a crucial enhancement in the Indian Army's air defense capabilities, bridging a vital gap in its defense architecture.
