Indian Air Defence System

The Sudarshan S-400 air defence missile system achieved a major success in a recent exercise where it 'shot down' 80 per cent of the 'enemy' fighter aircraft package while forcing others to retreat, aborting their missions.

The Indian Army has developed an all-weather, all-terrain, special lens that can be used to deceive the enemy air defence systems during wartime, helping in the suppression and destruction of enemy air defences for air operations.

Major aerial exercise 'Poorvi Akash' held across northeastern states along China border by Indian Air Force included joint operations with Army and involved high-tech lethal weapons such as the 'Sudarshan' S-400 air defence missile systems.

The supply of two squadrons of the S-400 air defence missile system from Russia has been hindered due to the Russia-Ukraine war but it is now expected to be completed in the next year, Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari said today.

The upgraded Akash missile systems have been enabled to be effective on high altitude frontiers such as the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China in north.

Ahead of Republic Day 2023, the Indian Army on Tuesday displayed 'Made In India' weapons including Akash air defence missiles and BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles at the India Gate.

Creation of a standalone air defence command may prove counter-productive as all elements of the nation's air power need work in close coordination to confront all possible future security challenges, Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari said on Friday.

Indian Army on Sunday successfully carried out the test firing of the Medium Range Surface to Air Missile air defence system off the coast of Odisha's Balasore, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) informed.

In a major boost to the country's air defence capabilities, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is deploying the first squadron of the S-400 air defence missile system in the Punjab sector.

The Defence Ministry today inked a nearly Rs 20,000 crore contract with Airbus Defence and Space to procure 56 C-295 medium transport aircraft which will replace Avro-748 planes of the Indian Air Force.

A group of Indian military personnel is leaving for Russia in the next few days to undergo training on key operational aspects of the S-400 air defence systems as Moscow looks at supplying the first batch of the missile to India later this year, officials said today.

Leading defence company Thales on Thursday said it and state-run Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) have signed an agreement to work in partnership on an air defence system with the support of the Indian and British governments.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) carried out a massive exercise to test its air defence missiles including the indigenous Akash air defence system and the Igla handheld launchers.

Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria on Monday said India has initiated the process for indigenous development of futuristic military systems like directed energy weapons, optionally manned combat platforms and swarm drones to bolster the country's defence prowess.

India's military might and some of the state-of-the-art assets of the armed forces will be showcased during the Republic Day Parade on Rajpath, with artillery gun system "Dhanush" and a marching contingent of the Army Air Defence set to take part in the ceremonial event for the first time, officials said on Thursday.
