In a strategic move to enhance border security and protect civilian population centers and religious sites near the Pakistan border, the Indian Army has initiated a tender for the procurement of six AK-630 30mm mobile air defence gun systems as part of Mission Sudarshan Chakra. This mission, aimed at establishing a comprehensive security shield by 2035, incorporates advanced technologies for surveillance, cyber security, and air defence. The AK-630 systems, known for their high rate of fire of up to 3,000 rounds per minute and a range of 4 km, will be mounted on trailers towed by high mobility vehicles and are designed to counter threats from unmanned aerial vehicles, rockets, and artillery. This procurement follows the lessons learned from Operation Sindoor, where Pakistan’s military targeted civilians and religious sites, prompting a robust response from Indian forces. The integration of these systems into India’s air defence architecture not only strengthens its defensive capabilities but also aligns with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, promoting self-reliance in defence technology. Overall, this initiative underscores India’s commitment to safeguarding its territory and citizens against external threats while enhancing operational readiness along its borders.
