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.

" Ek Chutki Sindoor...": Rekha Gupta's "Filmy" Swipe At Jaya Bachchan
New Delhi: The opening day of the Delhi Assembly's Monsoon Session saw sharp political exchanges as Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched a scathing attack on the Opposition, accusing it of historical negligence on national security and questioning its stance on recent military operations, including Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev. "This wasn't just a military operation, it was about honouring our martyrs," Ms Gupta said during a debate on the Centre's recent actions. She was responding to the Opposition's remarks over the naming of Operation Sindoor, particularly remarks made in Parliament by Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan. "She asked why the operation was named Sindoor. I will answer her with a filmy dialogue - "' Ek chutki Sindoor ki kimat tum kya jano? ' (You don't know the value of a pinch of vermilion)." Ms Bachchan had questioned why India's retaliatory action post-Pahalgam attack was named "Operation Sindoor", when women were widowed in the incident and actually "lost their sindoor". The Chief Minister levelled a series of questions at the Opposition, referencing decisions made by previous governments during major national security events. "When Pakistan occupied Kashmir, why didn't they take responsibility? Why didn't they take responsibility for Partition? For the war with China? Why was the 1965 war halted and taken to the UN? In 1971, 93,000 Pakistani soldiers were captured- why were they released unconditionally? Why was the Shimla Agreement signed? Why didn't they own up to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots or the stone-pelting in Kashmir?" she asked. Hitting out at the Congress-led INDIA bloc, Ms Gupta said, "These leaders have formed a team, but when they speak, it's hard to tell whether they represent India, Pakistan, or America". "The so-called 'national sister' talks about taking credit. But their actions speak otherwise." She further alleged that the Opposition has shown alignment with disruptive forces: "They don't love India, they trust anti-national forces." Assembly Disruption: AAP MLA Marshalled Out Earlier, the house witnessed chaos when AAP MLA Sanjeev Jha attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Operation Sindoor. Speaker Vijender Gupta immediately intervened, objecting to his choice of words, directing that they would not remain on record. He also ordered the marshal to "escort him out". The Speaker later confirmed the remarks had been expunged from the Assembly proceedings. Mr Jha's comments came during his speech on national security, triggering protests from BJP MLAs and warnings from the Chair. The MLA was escorted out of the House following repeated refusals to withdraw his statement. Leadership, Legacy, and a Divided House Chief Minister Rekha Gupta ended her address by defending the government's record on national security and countering criticism from the opposition. "In 2016, during the surgical strikes, they demanded proof, and we gave it. We brought back Abhinandan (Varthaman). The opposition will always find something to criticise," she said. "This is not the India of pre-2014. Whenever storms threatened the nation, (PM) Modi stood like a shield. He is not just a leader, he is a symbol of light," Ms Gupta told the House. The day concluded with the Assembly deeply polarised, one side questioning the legacy of past governments, the other challenging the narrative around recent military operations.

Donald Trump Threatens To 'Substantially Increase' Tariffs On India Over Russian Oil
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened steep tariffs on India, accusing it of profiting from the Ukraine war by buying and reselling Russian oil. A 25% tariff on Indian imports is set to take effect on August 7, with further penalties possible. Despite the warning, India remains firm on its energy strategy, citing market-based decisions. Russia now supplies nearly 40% of India's crude oil, up from just 2.5% before the war. The government says refiners will continue sourcing oil commercially, prioritizing energy security. The move places India in a diplomatic bind as it balances strategic autonomy with mounting U.S. pressure.#donaldtrump #indiatariffs #russianoil #trumpsocial #ukrainewar #crudeoil #energysecurity #geopolitics #tradepolicy #toi #toibharat Read More
