India's 'Sudarshan Chakra' to Integrate Air Defence
India is planning a new air defence system called Sudarshan Chakra, which will be like a giant shield to protect against various threats.
It will include ways to stop drones and fast missiles.
Military leaders are thinking ahead to stay ahead of potential threats, comparing it to a chess game.
The system is still in the planning stage, but aims to be complete, using all kinds of technologies.
This follows success in countering drones with anti-drone measures, but the adversary learns, which creates a need for innovation.
This new system aims to stay ahead of enemies.
India's 'Sudarshan Chakra' air defence system will incorporate various counter-measures.
