India is set to begin flight-testing three indigenous long-range Kusha interceptor missiles under DRDO's Project Kusha, marking a major milestone in Mission Sudarshan Chakra. The M-1, M-2, and M-3 interceptors are designed to bridge the gap between existing air defence systems and the S-400, strengthening India's multi-layered aerial shield against enemy aircraft, drones, and missiles. The indigenous system will enhance national air defence capabilities, reduce dependence on foreign platforms, and play a crucial role in protecting strategic military and civilian assets. The project reflects India's push for self-reliance in advanced defence technology. (PC: HT)
