DRDO News
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and IIT Delhi worked together to make this happen. They managed to send secure messages over a distance of more than 1 kilometer using a special kind of light connection set up on the IIT Delhi campus.
India's defence capabilities took a giant leap with the development of the DRDO’s Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW)—a precision-guided bomb designed to cripple enemy airfield infrastructure from long distances. With successful trials across multiple platforms including the Jaguar, Su-30MKI, and the indigenous Hawk-i, SAAW symbolizes India's growing self-reliance in strategic strike capabilities. Here's a closer look at this lethal asset in the Indian Air Force’s arsenal that can decimate any Pakistani airbases within minutes:
Fresh off the success of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is setting its sights on something far more strategic – decoding the deadly secrets of Chinese and Turkish weaponry. After Pakistan’s swift climbdown during the military offensive, India is tightening its military grip not just through brute force, but with intelligence and preparation.
Project Kusha, a R 21,700 crore DRDO-led initiative with Bharat Electronics Limited, aims to deliver a long-range air defence system rivaling the S-400 by 2028. Featuring M1, M2, and M3 missiles (150-350 km), it counters stealth jets, drones, and Mach 7 ASBMs, enhancing India’s air and naval supremacy.
Operation Sindoor witnessed Indian forces wielding homegrown weaponry designed and developed by the DRDO destroyed and dominated the enemy.
With a range of 350 km and cutting-edge tech, India’s indigenous air defence system could outperform Israel’s Iron Dome and even rival the Russian S-400.
India's AMCA Programme: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh approved the programme that will see the execution and development of the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft for the armed forces.
Inducted this year, the system was deployed widely in Punjab, J&K and Rajasthan during the recent conflict.
Akash downed Pak drones. India praised it. Brazil eyes deal. China competes. Global demand grows. Akash proves its power.
Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) are designed for effective operation in both day and night conditions, making them reliable across a wide range of combat scenarios.
Defence Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL), a Hyderabad-based laboratory of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has achieved a significant milestone.
DCP East Bengaluru, stated that the incident is not related to any language issue, calling it a clear-cut case of road rage that both parties could have avoided.
Indian scientists have successfully tested a laser weapon system which can burn enemy drones, missiles and small weapons to ashes in a few seconds. This is the Brahmastra that strengthens the country's borders and by making it, our scientists have brought India at par with a few powerful countries.
Success has put India in the exclusive and limited club of nations that possess the high-power Laser-DEW.
In view of the tense situation in the neighbouring countries, India is constantly working on its defence sector. Recently, DRDO has advanced its hypersonic missile technology and tested the scramjet engine, which proved to be successful.
For the first time in India, DRDO has successfully conducted a ground test of the advanced Active Cooled Scramjet Combustor (engine) for a duration of 120 seconds.
The DRDO recently also carried out important test of the guided Pinaka rockets which are produced by Nagpur-based Solar Industry's Economic Explosives Limited along with government-owned Munitions India Limited.
The successful trial, conducted on Saturday night, demonstrated the missile’s ability to cover distances of over 1500 km, capable of carrying multiple payloads.
A total of twelve rockets were tested from each production agency, using two upgraded in-service Pinaka launchers.
India has several world-class weapons including missiles, canons, tanks and air defence systems. When it comes to missiles, India has Agni Series (Ballistic Missiles), BrahMos (Cruise Missile) and Shaurya (Hypersonic Surface-to-Surface Missile) while when it comes to air defence, India has Barak-8 / MRSAM, Akash Missile System and Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) among others.
