SAMAR-2 is an indigenous surface-to-air missile system developed by the Indian Air Force (IAF) to bolster the nation's air defense capabilities.
The system repurposes aging Russian R-27 air-to-air missiles into potent surface-to-air defense solutions, extending the life cycle of legacy assets.
Air Marshal Vibhas Pande highlighted SAMAR-2 as a strategic approach to maximizing the utility of nearing-expiration missile systems, ensuring continued effectiveness in safeguarding Indian airspace.
The IAF's 7 Base Repair Depot (BRD) Tughlakabad played a crucial role in developing the SAMAR system, demonstrating India's capability in indigenous defense solutions.
Rigorous testing, including successful firing trials during the Astra Shakti 2023 exercise, validated the SAMAR system's operational capabilities and readiness for deployment.
