India’s Prithvi Delivery Vehicle Mark-II (PDV Mk-II), originally tested as an anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon during Operation Mission Shakti in 2019, is set to be integrated into the Sudarshan Chakra Sky Shield, enhancing India’s offensive space capabilities. The missile, capable of disrupting adversary surveillance and offering a second-strike option under India’s no-first-use doctrine, reflects a strategic response to growing satellite constellations from China and Pakistan. With potential upgrades for various orbital targets, the PDV Mk-II positions India as a formidable space power, reinforcing its defense strategy against evolving threats while promoting indigenous capabilities in the defense sector.
