A recent Ukrainian drone attack on St. Petersburg, bypassing Russian defenses, highlights the global need for advanced air defense. India is bolstering its capabilities with Mission sudarshan Chakra, a multi-layered shield inspired by systems like Israel's Iron Dome and US platforms. This ambitious project aims for comprehensive protection by 2035, integrating space-based surveillance and AI.

India has received its fourth S-400 air defence squadron from Russia, significantly bolstering its long-range aerial defence. This delivery, part of a larger 2018 deal, follows earlier squadrons and is set for rapid deployment. The system has proven effective, notably during Operation Sindoor, and is integrating into India's broader 'Sudarshan Chakra' air defence network alongside indigenous projects like Kusha.

China's nuclear arsenal is rapidly growing, with over 300 new silos and expanded fissile material production aiming for parity with the US. Pakistan counters India with a "full spectrum deterrence" doctrine and diverse missile systems. India is bolstering its defence with the multi-layered sudarshan Chakra air-defence umbrella to counter both threats.

Hyderabad is set to welcome back premium IMAX after over a decade with a new screen at a luxury multiplex replacing the historic sudarshan 70MM.

India is rapidly advancing in hypersonic weapon technology, achieving a significant scramjet breakthrough. This development positions the nation among global leaders like the US, China, and Russia, who are all racing to develop these near-unstoppable weapons. Hypersonic systems, flying above Mach 5, pose a new era of warfare, demanding advanced defense strategies.

India's defence forces are enhancing aerial protection with the new Joint Air Defence Doctrine, integrating Army, Navy, and Air Force for a unified shield. This move, following successful operations and global vulnerabilities, aims to counter modern threats like drones and hypersonic weapons. Technological advancements, including new missile systems, bolster this multi-layered defence strategy.
