1 / 7
Developed by DRDO, the Akash is a medium-range surface-to-air missile system capable of engaging aerial threats with precision up to a range of 25 km, even under adverse weather conditions. It has been effectively deployed to neutralize multiple UAVs and hostile airborne targets near critical defense installations. Akash-Teer
2 / 7
Project Akashteer is an advanced Automated Air Defence Control and Reporting System that enhances the operational effectiveness of the Indian Army's air defense units. This indigenous platform enables real-time monitoring and control of low-level airspace in battle zones, allowing seamless integration and command of Ground-Based Air Defence Weapon Systems. L70 Anti-Aircraft Guns
3 / 7
Originally of Swedish origin, the L70 is a 40mm radar-guided anti-aircraft gun that has been modernized with digital targeting and tracking systems. Optimized for engaging low-flying threats such as drones and helicopters, the L70s were deployed in sensitive sectors of Jammu & Kashmir. They played a critical role in nighttime operations, successfully downing Pakistani quadcopters and loitering munitions attempting to infiltrate urban areas during blackouts. S-400 'Sudarshan' Air Defence System
4 / 7
The S-400 Triumf, designated 'Sudarshan' in Indian service, is a cutting-edge Russian long-range air defense system with a range of up to 400 km. Capable of engaging aircraft, drones, and ballistic missiles, the system was strategically deployed along the border to establish a formidable no-fly zone. It proved instrumental in detecting and intercepting advanced threats like Pakistan's Fatah-II missiles aimed at Indian cities. Rafale With SCALP-HAMMER Missiles
5 / 7
The French-origin Rafale, a 4.5-generation multirole fighter, brings unmatched strike capabilities when armed with SCALP cruise missiles (~560 km range) and HAMMER precision-guided bombs. These platforms executed deep-strike missions against terrorist infrastructure and key Pakistani military targets—including radar stations and command centers—with pinpoint accuracy. The SCALP-enabled strikes were surgical, stealthy, and psychologically decisive. Su-30MKI with BrahMos-A
6 / 7
India's Su-30MKI, a twin-engine air superiority fighter, has been adapted to carry the BrahMos-A—the air-launched variant of the world's fastest supersonic cruise missile. These aircraft conducted high-impact cross-border strikes targeting strategic assets, including radar installations, forward airbases, and logistics nodes. The attacks disrupted enemy operations and supply chains with devastating effect. HAROP Loitering Munitions
7 / 7
The Israeli-origin HAROP, a loitering munition or kamikaze drone, is engineered for precision SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) missions. Capable of autonomously homing in on radar emissions or visual targets, HAROP drones were deployed to eliminate enemy radar systems and communication nodes, crippling their situational awareness and command capabilities.

Dip in infiltration from B'desh in last six months: Saha
1 2 3 Agartala: Tripura chief minister Manik Saha on Tuesday claimed there is a slight decrease in illegal immigration from Bangladesh during the past six months due to enhanced border monitoring and targeted operations in vulnerable areas previously used by illegal Bangladeshi nationals as transit points to other Indian states. During a media briefing celebrating the 11th year of Narendra Modi's govt, he dismissed claims of increased infiltration from Bangladesh, crediting the improved situation to effective security measures. Saha highlighted concerns about certain sections of the India-Bangladesh border where fencing infrastructure is inadequate or non-existent. He confirmed that these issues have been brought to the attention of the Union home ministry and security agencies. The chief minister acknowledged increased arrests of illegal immigrants during recent operations. This statement gains importance considering BJP's alliance partner TIPRA Motha's call for comprehensive action to identify and remove undocumented Bangladeshi nationals from Tripura. TIPRA Motha has initiated grassroots efforts in rural areas, directing supporters to document illegal Bangladeshi residents who obtained fraudulent Indian papers through local authorities. The party advocates for establishing detention facilities for illegal immigrants, similar to those in Assam. Discussing Modi govt's achievements, Saha said Tripura received substantial central funding during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He emphasised how the PM's initiatives and direct benefit transfer system enhanced governance transparency by eliminating intermediaries. He reported that Tripura farmers received Rs 843 crore through PM-KISAN, Rs 10 crore via PM Fasal Bima Yojana, and Rs 2,272 crore in low-interest loans through Kisan Credit Card scheme. Under Har Ghar Jal Yojana, household tap water access increased from 3% to 86%. Regarding healthcare and welfare, Ayushman Bharat settled claims worth Rs 239 crore, leading Tripura to develop its own health programme. Additionally, 8,200 small businesses received unsecured loans, while 1.46 lakh new mothers received Rs 62 crore through PM Matru Vandana Yojana. The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana facilitated rooftop solar panel installation in 368 households.

Pakistan COAS Asim Munir Invited To US Army Day Celebrations On June 14: Sources
Last Updated: During this visit, the US is likely to urge Pakistan to take action against terrorist groups targeting Afghanistan and India Pakistan's chief of army staff General Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah is scheduled to visit Washington DC, for the US Army Day celebrations on June 14, top intelligence sources have told CNN-News18. He will join other military leaders to commemorate the US Army's 250th anniversary. According to sources at the Pakistani Embassy in Washington DC, Munir is expected to arrive on June 12. During this visit, the US is likely to urge Pakistan to take action against terrorist groups targeting Afghanistan and India. The invitation appears to be linked more to the ongoing US-China rivalry and Pakistan's strategic importance than any stance against India. Due to Pakistan's close ties with China through initiatives like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the US harbours concerns about Pakistan's neutrality. Given the current geopolitical climate, the US is unlikely to view Pakistan as a credible or neutral mediator, said sources. This visit has also provoked political reactions within Pakistan, with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) planning protests against Munir's visit and labelling him a criminal. Pakistan is expected to seek assurances from the US regarding the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operating from Afghanistan. Historically, Pakistan has sought US mediation on various issues, while India firmly rejects third-party involvement. The US prefers bilateral dialogue and is unlikely to alter its stance in favour of mediation, sources said. Pakistan recognises the potential debt trap associated with China and is eager to attract investment from other global powers. The country possesses valuable resources such as lithium, copper, gold, and rare earth minerals, for which it urgently requires investment. However, Pakistan is wary of potential colonisation similar to China's approach. The visit aims to manage the strained security relationship between the US and Pakistan. Pakistan will likely pursue its agenda on mediation in Kashmir and seek investments in its mineral resources. However, tangible outcomes may be limited, as India is unlikely to accede to any external demands regarding Kashmir. First Published: June 11, 2025, 02:37 IST
