PM Narendra Modi announced Mission Sudarshan Chakra at Independence Day Speech. India’s new security shield will be made by 2035 with multi-laten definition system, Missile Defense Shield, Cyber Security and Physical Safeguards like Israel and USA.
Mission Sudarshan Chakra: PM Modi announced in his speech from Red Fort on Independence Day that India will create a new ‘Sudarshan Chakra’. It will be made by mixing an advance surveillance, cyber protection and physical safeguard with a multi-layered framework that will protect the citizens of the country from enemy attacks and terrorist threats. Most importantly, it will be completely indigenous.
Inspired by Israeli’s Iron Dome and US Golden Dome
This new defense shield will be like Israeli’s Iron Dome and the proposed Golden Dome of US but its scope will not be limited to missiles just. It will also have precision counterstrike capability and anti-keyber warfare measures to thwart digital threats such as hacking-fishing.
Self -reliant India Defense Vision by 2035
PM Modi said that by 2035, the goal is to expand, strong and advance this shield. The entire system of Sudarshan Chakra will be research, development and manufacture in India. In this, Defense Research Agencies, Armed Forces, Private Sector Innovators will work together.
Learned lesson from Operation Sindoor
During the Pahalgam terror attack in April and Operation Sindoor in May, Pakistan tried to target Indian military base, fighter jets and cities for 100 hours but IACCS (Integrated Air Command and Control System) killed the enemy’s missiles by tracking real time. This experience emphasized the need to further strengthen Multi-Layred Protection.
IACCS and Akashteer Network will be in the core
The base of the Sudarshan Chakra will be the indigenous Akashtir Network of IACCS and Army which gives net-centric operational capability by combining the air defense systems of the Army, Air Force and Navy together. It will have integration of radars, AWACS Survelance and fighter jets.
Iron Dome, Golden Dome and S-400
- Israel’s iron dome: Since 2011, thousands of Rockets have intercepted, 90% success rate.
- US Golden Dome: Donald Trump’s $ 175 billion space, land, sea -based missile defense plan.
- Russian S-400: India has 3 Squadrons, 2 and delivery remaining.
