DRDO's Long-Range Air Defence Shield: Project Kusha Maiden Flight Test Successful | Battle Cry

In a special broadcast of Battle Cry, host Gaurav Sawant discusses the maiden flight test of DRDO's Project Kusha long-range surface-to-air missile defense system, conducted off the coast of Odisha. The indigenous three-tier missile defense shield successfully intercepted a high-speed, high-altitude simulated target. Project Kusha aims to provide interception at ranges up to 400 kilometers with three missile variants and form a core component of India's multi-layered Sudarshan Chakra Shield. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh called the indigenous system a global game-changer, comparing its protective role to Govardhan Parvat. Former Vice Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Anil Khosla and journalist Sandeep Unnithan highlighted how Project Kusha will complement the S-400 Triumf system, reduce dependence on foreign imports, and enhance ground-based air defense capabilities. Utilizing advanced long-range radars, artificial intelligence, and multi-tier interceptors, the indigenous system is designed to counter enemy fighter jets, stealth aircraft, drones, and ballistic missiles while significantly boosting India's air defense grid across northern and western borders. #ProjectKusha #DRDO #IndiaAirDefence #BattleCry #IndiaToday #AtmanirbharBharat #SudarshanChakra #S400 #IndianAirForce #IndianDefence #RajnathSingh #MissileTest #DefenceUpdate #MakeInIndia #AirShield Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
