India is set to bolster its defense capabilities against aerial threats with the launch of Mission Sudarshan Chakra, as announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Independence Day. This cutting-edge security architecture is designed to protect Indian skies from enemy missiles, drones, and rockets, while enabling massive retaliation.
