Ministry of Defence has released a 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗥𝗙𝗜) for the procurement of 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 (𝗩𝗮𝗷𝗿𝗮) (𝗩𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗦 𝗩𝗮𝗷𝗿𝗮). The 𝗩𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗦 (𝗩𝗮𝗷𝗿𝗮) will be used by all three services as a terminal defence system against aircraft, helicopters and UAS (UAVs and UCAVs). Deliverable configurations at land and ship based platforms. The VSHORADS will be deployed in two configurations:

• Shoulder Fired
• Tripod based/Vehicle based

As an interceptor missile for short ranges, the Vajra is comparable to Russia’s S-400 air defence system. However, its domestic development is a significant highlight, incorporating advanced technologies like dual-band IIR seekers, miniature reaction control systems, and integrated avionics. Its propulsion system is a dual-thrust solid motor, providing it with high speed.
