More bad news for Pakistan and China as India’s latest indigenous aerial defence system…, it is as lethal as…
New Delhi: Recently, during military clashes with Pakistan, the Indian defense system worked excellently, destroying all drones and missiles sent by Pakistan and thwarting the Pakistani attack. The Russian S-400 successfully neutralized Pakistani drones in mid-air, failing the attack.
Now, India is working on developing its own indigenous missile defense system which will be developed by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a major defense sector company that manufactures air defense systems like Akash. BEL is engaged in creating an indigenous long-range surface-to-air missile system under Project Kusha, similar to the S-400.
According to the report, the company’s goal is to complete the prototype within 12 to 18 months, after which user testing will take place, which can last from 12 to 36 months. The Kusha project is being led by DRDO and aims to create a system that can counter various aerial threats such as drones, aircraft, and missiles.
A statement from the Chairman and Managing Director of BEL Manoj Jain said “we are development partners with DRDO and are jointly creating multiple systems for Kusha”. He mentioned that it mainly involves the development of various types of radars and control systems.
Apart from Project Kusha, BEL is also working on the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) system. The company expects to receive orders worth 30,000 crore rupees for this project, which will meet the joint needs of the Indian Army and Indian Air Force.
The Akash missile system developed by BEL has garnered attention with its outstanding performance and recent success. Akash is an air defense control and reporting system specially developed for the Indian Armed Forces. It enables real-time monitoring and engagement of multiple aerial targets and integrates a wide range of sensors and weapon systems within a single framework.
