Project Kusha explained: Why India’s 'own S-400' is not designed to stop ballistic missiles
•India successfully tested the Kusha Surface-to-Air Missile as part of its Mission Sudarshan Chakra.
•The Kusha missile system has three variants with ranges of 150 km, 250 km, and 350 km, aiming to rival the Russian S-400.
•To enhance missile defense, India needs to focus on improving sensors, lasers, and command networks for better resilience.
India’s maiden test of the Kusha Surface-to-Air Missile marks a decisive step in building a layered air defence shield under Mission Sudarshan Chakra. Designed in three variants—M1 (150 km), M2 (250 km) and M3 (350 km)—the system aims to rival the Russian S-400 but with indigenous scalability. The test underscores DRDO’s ability to intercept threats in both endo- and exo-atmospheric domains. Yet, as Gulf conflicts show, missile defence requires redundancy and integration. India must now invest in sensors, lasers, and command networks to ensure resilience against saturation attacks.المصدر: Times of India | Source: Times of India
