When air defence is discussed, the assumption is often total protection. But that assumption does not hold, especially in India’s context. At the Strategic Renaissance of Air Power Conference, Air Marshal Diptendu Chowdhary pointed to the core challenge: scale. The sheer size of India makes it impossible to build...

Think of IACCS as a real-time warfighting brain. At the Strategic Renaissance of Air Power Conference, Wg Cdr Survesh Dhir explains why: From underwater to 100 km up, across domains and even nations, creating one coherent picture isn’t plug-and-play. It’s complex, contested, and still evolving. The goal isn’t more data. It’s trusted situational awareness. With AI and command layers embedded, ICCS is designed to shorten the OODA loop for faster decisions, faster response. In modern warfare, whoever sees clearly and acts first, wins. #AirDefence #ICCS #MilitaryTech #OODAloop #FutureOfWar #AirDefence #DroneWarfare #MilitaryStrategy #IndiaSecurity #chakranewz Sandeep Anurag Awasthi deepak bhadana

“Why risk aircraft when missiles do the same job?” argues Lt Gen P R Shankar on the Lessons From War. If targets like Rahim Yar Khan or Sargodha were are the objective, why not use BrahMos missile or ground-launched systems from day one? Air-launched or ground-launched, the effect is identical. What matters is the hit, not the platform. So why expose pilots and platforms when modern warfare is shifting from platforms to precision strike systems.

India often looks to Japan as a potential defence partner. But the reality is a little complicated. Speaking at the Rising Sun Conclave, Ambassador Sanjay Kumar Verma explained that Japan’s pacifist framework and strict export rules limit its ability to sell defence equipment but co-development may be a solution. Most Japanese defence manufacturers are large conglomerates where defence accounts for less than 10% of revenue. They have strong technology, but not the production capacity to meet India’s scale. Co-development could be the path forward but only if India builds an ecosystem that benefits both sides.

Why did Pakistan not use Modern Air Defence Systems to Shoot Indian Drones A widely asked question is that why Pakistan did not use its modern Air Defence System to target Indian drones. Because all India wanted to know was location of our modern Air Defence Systems including radars by sending their drones so that it can neutralize them & then send its aircrafts to avenge its humiliation suffered by losing at least five Fighters But Pak sensed the plot & did not fall prey to it. Instead, we used soft kill tactics to neutralize the threat i.e. jamming & spoofing while retaining our shield Modi! Grow up. You are dealing with a battle hardened Army not kids….

#WATCH | Delhi | Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh says, “This topic of drones and UA systems is very relevant… It is a reality. So, there is no denying that the battlefield has shifted. We are shifting from concentrated Air power to a decentralised and autonomous way. We must understand that the Unmanned Aerial (UA) systems are extensions of Air power… There is also reduced risk in terms of human life during the operation… As I said, it is an extension of Air power, so all the rules of Air power will apply when you use the UA system… When we talk about counter UA systems, it is like a cat-and-mouse game. When you develop technology in one field, the counter technology has to develop along with it because that is how a game can be played… I think we have done reasonably well in Operation Sindoor, and it was possible because there was coordination. Without a central agency coordinating it, it would not have been possible… We have a structure in place so that every time we are able to counter these things… We will have all three services operating in the same Air Space, then there has to be total coordination…”

👑 Putin Is Building a Fortress in the Heart of Russia According to OSINT analysts, Moscow is rapidly being transformed into a multi-layered fortress. Four defensive rings have already been built around the city, with the largest — the outermost ring — now nearly complete. 🔵 The scale is striking. In just a couple of months, more than two dozen new towers for Pantsir air defence systems have been erected around Moscow. 🔵 The first defensive ring stretches roughly 40 kilometres from the city centre, with additional positions protecting oil refineries, electrical substations, Vnukovo Airport and, naturally, Putin's residence. 🔵 Air defence systems are even being installed on rooftops across the city. 🔵 Analysts have identified around 250 air defence and radar positions in the Moscow region, though they estimate the real number exceeds 350. 🔵 Moscow is clearly getting top priority when it comes to air defence systems and missile supplies. Meanwhile, many other Russian regions are left with little or no protection, as their air defences are being redirected to shield the capital. The most important point, however, is that even such an exceptionally dense air defence network is failing to stop Ukrainian drones from reaching Moscow.

Proof of FAILED UKRAINIAN Air Defence Systems first hand! Last night in ODESSA, as the UKRAINIAN ARMY were failing miserably to hit incoming Geraniums , they let off an Air defence Missile, which also missed its target! MULTIPLE times before this has happened and residential units have been Hit ! Consequently, Kiev Propaganda would blame Russia for such intentional and indiscriminate bombing , but as I have shown with proof before , what is seen on this clip is in the vast majority the reality of the matter ! Such Air Defence Systems should be on the peripheral of cities....not in the centre!

#WATCH | At the Adampur Air Base, PM Narendra Modi said, "Besides manpower, the coordination of machine in #OperationSindoor was also fantastic. Be it India's traditional air defence system which has witnessed several battles or our Made in India platforms like Akash - all of these have been given unprecedented strength modern and capable defence system like S-400. A strong defence cover has become the identity of India. Despite all the attempts of Pakistan, be it our air base or other defence infrastructure - all of these were not impacted at all. The credit goes to all of you. I am proud of all of you."

Nation's defence comes first and foremost and if Indian Air Force or Indian forces have to ride on this aatmaribharta, it is only possible if everyone - from DRDO, to DPSU, to the private industry holds the hand and takes us to that path and don't let us deviate from that path. Because when it comes to national defence, there will be compulsions to deviate from their path in case we do not get the things that we need or the kind of system and weaponry that is required to survive in today's world. So, my humble request to each one of us here is that let's put a system in place where we are helping each other out in achieving the overall goal, which are our goals. It is not anybody else's...If we have to defend the nation, it is everybody's job. It is not just the job of a person in uniform..."

🚨THIS BEAST IS CALLED S-400 AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM 🇮🇳 AND IT DID NOT COME EASY! India signed a $5.4 billion deal with Russia in 2018 for the S-400 Triumph air defence system. The U.S. opposed the deal, warning it could trigger sanctions under CAATSA (Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act). Concerns were raised that the S-400 could compromise U.S. military tech if used alongside American systems. India maintained its position, citing national security and strategic autonomy. Deliveries began in 2021, despite global pressure, showcasing India’s independent defence policy.

Speaking at the Rising Sun Conclave, Sushant Sareen delivered a blunt reality check on India’s defence industry. Stop expecting technology transfer. No country gives away cutting-edge tech. At best, they pass what’s already obsolete. If India wants real capability, it must build, co-develop, or strategically acquire it, while fixing inefficiencies in PSUs like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and the old Ordnance Factory Board model.

Pakistan’s reported Fatah-4 missile test has triggered massive debate across Indian social media, with claims that Delhi, Jammu, Amritsar, and several major cities fall within its 750 KM range. But modern warfare is not decided by range alone. The real question is: can the missile actually survive India’s layered air defence network? The Fatah-4 is believed to be a low-flying cruise missile capable of terrain-hugging flight designed to avoid radar detection. However, India’s defence architecture is specifically built to track and intercept exactly these kinds of threats. This is why strategic experts argue that simply drawing a 750 KM circle on a map does not reflect real battlefield reality. In modern warfare, offensive capability matters but defensive architecture matters just as much. #Pakistan #missiles #MissileStrike #MissileLaunch #Fatah4 #indianarmy

For those who are asking why Iran is not currently attacking Israel: it is important to remember that it is the U.S. air defense systems throughout the region, in the seas and straits, as well as the air defense systems of all Arab countries that intercept the majority of missiles heading in that direction. 🔻 The weaker the U.S. and Arab air defense systems become in the region, the higher the probability that Iranian missiles will reach Tel Aviv

Rajnath Singh ji said—maybe he didn't want to say this—that he told the Pakistanis that we are not going to hit any of their military infrastructure. Captain Shiv Kumar, Defence Attaché (Indonesia), said that he may not agree that India lost many aircrafts but he did agree that we lost some aircrafts. And that happened only because of the constraint given by the political leadership to not attack the military establishment and their air defence. Meaning: you went into Pakistan and attacked it, and then you told our pilots not to attack their air defence system, i.e., you told them to face their air defence system while their hands were tied behind their backs. And this, Rajnath ji has said in the Parliament. So what do you think would happen then? : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha

#WATCH | J&K: A soldier of the Indian Army says, "The radar you can see right behind me is an early warning radar of the air defence system, and this early warning radar is the most modern radar of today. This radar has long-range capability, which means that it has the ability to search and detect the enemy's target from a long range. Due to its long range, it searched and detected all the enemy targets, be it a drone, a UAV or an aircraft, very well. It passed the data of the target to the fire controller, and the weapon system attached to the fire control radar opened an effective fire on that particular target, due to which it was destroyed in the air itself. We detected their targets through those radars and destroyed them in the air through our weapon system before they could reach their destination. Its success rate has been 100%, and it can be 101%, but it cannot be less than that. There is no doubt that if the enemy country dares to do something like this in the future, it will have to pay a lot more than this. Our army jammed their (Pakistan) air defence system, and they could not do anything, and due to this, they suffered heavy losses..."
