Armenia has sent a military delegation to India’s School of Artillery in Nashik to study advanced artillery training and live firing exercises. The visit reflects the rapidly growing defence partnership between the two nations. Armenia has already procured major Indian defence systems including Pinaka, Akash, Swathi radars, and ATAGS. The cooperation is aimed at strengthening Armenia’s military capabilities amid rising regional security concerns. The engagement signals deeper strategic collaboration beyond defence equipment sales.

BrahMos missile reportedly delivered strong performance during Operation Sindoor, successfully penetrating defended targets despite Pakistan’s Chinese-origin air defence systems. Former BrahMos Aerospace chief Dr. Sudhir Mishra stated that if current systems struggle against supersonic missiles, hypersonic weapons will be even harder to intercept. He emphasized that hypersonic missiles combine extreme speed, maneuverability, and minimal reaction time, making them highly challenging for existing air-defence networks. The operation highlighted the growing importance of next-generation precision-strike capabilities in modern warfare. India is now expected to further accelerate development of advanced hypersonic missile technologies.

India’s indigenous Astra air-to-air missile is being upgraded with a strike range of up to 160 km, significantly boosting the Indian Air Force’s beyond-visual-range combat capability.

The extended range could allow Indian fighter jets to target hostile aircraft deep inside enemy territory without crossing the border, potentially impacting 25–50% of Pakistan’s operational airspace.

The upgrade focuses on improved propulsion, guidance systems, and engagement performance based on lessons from recent aerial warfare developments.

Astra’s enhanced capability will strengthen India’s air-superiority posture by enabling earlier interceptions while keeping Indian aircraft farther from enemy air-defense systems.

The development highlights India’s growing focus on self-reliant advanced missile technology, with future Astra variants expected to further expand long-range air combat dominance.

India’s push for the TARA glide bomb kit is reportedly shaped by lessons from the Ukraine war, where low-cost precision glide bombs proved highly effective. TARA converts conventional bombs into long-range precision weapons, enabling stand-off strikes beyond enemy air-defence zones. DRDO and the IAF successfully tested the system in 2026, strengthening India’s indigenous precision-strike capability and reducing dependence on costly imports.

DRDO has issued an RFP for the Weapon System Integration Model Test Configuration Assembly under Project Kusha, accelerating development of India’s indigenous long-range air defence system. The project will strengthen multi-layered air and missile defence capabilities while boosting self-reliance in advanced strategic technologies. Upcoming integration and validation activities will support future interceptor and flight-testing phases. Once operational, Project Kusha will enhance India’s ability to counter a wide range of aerial threats with indigenous solutions.

➡️ Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully carried out flight-tests of the RudraM-II Air-to-Surface Missile from an airborne platform.

➡️ The missile was tested under extreme release conditions, validating the performance and capability of all critical subsystems and flight trajectories.

➡️ All mission objectives were successfully achieved, with flight data verified through multiple range instruments deployed by the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur.
