India’s Masterplan after Operation Sindoor, PM Modi sends his closest Aide to DRDO to…, plans to make…, Pakistan, China, Bangladesh to…

DRDO Bangalore Lab: The Narendra Modi government is working relentlessly to strengthen its defense capabilities by giving the highest priority to self-reliance. Following Operation Sindoor in 2025, the central government has made it clear that India will no longer produce weapons solely for its own use, but will also export them globally. Recently, Dr. P.K. Mishra, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, visited the DRDO lab in Bengaluru signaling both seriousness and urgency in this direction. This lab primarily focuses on radar and electronic warfare technologies.

It is important to note that the Modi government has removed over 400 weapons and equipment from the import list so far. This clearly indicates that these items will now be manufactured domestically and used by the Indian armed forces. Following Dr. Mishra’s visit, several key projects have come to light that are set to take India’s defence policy to new heights.

Hypersonic Hitters – BrahMos-II Missile

  • The BrahMos-II missile system is one of India’s most ambitious defence projects.
  • The BrahMos-II missile will have a range of 1,500 kilometers
  • It will have a speed eight times faster than the speed of sound.
  • It will be capable of being launched from land, sea, and air platforms.
  • The Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile will have a range of over 1,000 kilometers

Next-Gen Air Superiority – AMCA Stealth Fighter,

  • India’s first fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, AMCA, is being jointly developed by DRDO and HAL.
  • Its first flight is expected by 2026, with serial production likely by 2032–33.
  • This fighter jet will feature supercruise capability, stealth technology, an internal weapons bay, and advanced avionics.

Multi-Layer Air Defence System – Project Kusha

  • Project Kusha is designed to intercept ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, fighter jets, and drones within a range of 150 to 400 kilometers.
  • DRDO is developing this system domestically with capabilities comparable to the S-400. It is expected to become operational by 2028.

VSHORADS,

  • Shoulder-fired Missile System VSHORADS is an indigenous missile system
  • It is being developed on a large scale for the first time in India.
  • It has a range of approximately 6 kilometers and is equipped with an advanced infrared seeker.
  • The Army has placed an order for 5,000 units, which could make it a part of India’s defense export portfolio.

Smart Precision Weapons: Rudram-2 and Rudram-3

The Rudram-2 and Rudram-3 missiles are intended to strike enemy radars, air defense systems, and communication hubs. Rudram-2 offers a range of 250 to 300 kilometers, while Rudram-3 is expected to exceed a range of 550 kilometers.
