Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the Sudarshan Chakra Mission during his 2025 Independence Day address, aiming to establish a multi-layered, indigenous defense system by 2035 that integrates both offensive and defensive capabilities. Distinct from global counterparts like Israel’s Iron Dome, this ambitious initiative will neutralize aerial threats while conducting precise strikes against enemy targets. Key features include a three-tiered air defense system, advanced cyber defense, and seamless integration with existing military assets. This comprehensive approach will bolster India’s strategic posture and deterrent capability, ensuring national sovereignty against evolving threats.
