Transformative air defence system for India
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has lauded the indigenous Project Kusha, a long-range Surface-to-Air Missile system developed by DRDO, as a transformative asset for India's national security. Designed to counter stealth aircraft, drones, and hypersonic weapons, the system is expected to be fully operational between 2028 and 2030.
Why it matters
Project Kusha represents a significant step in India's push for self-reliance in defence technology, aiming to reduce dependence on foreign systems like the Russian S-400 while enhancing regional deterrence capabilities.
