Mission “Sudarshan Chakra” launched on Independence Day 2025: India’s Bold Leap Toward Missile Defense Sovereignty
On Independence Day 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Mission Sudarshan Chakra, India’s ambitious plan to build an indigenous multi-layered missile defense system. Inspired by Lord Krishna’s legendary weapon, the project aims to safeguard the nation against ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, and rocket artillery through a tiered shield of long, medium, and short-range interceptors. Powered by artificial intelligence and developed under the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, the system will provide real-time threat assessment and autonomous defense responses.
