Cue from Krishna for India's Iron Dome. What's Sudarshan Chakra Mission?
A day ahead of Janmashtami, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a leaf out of the book of the strategist of Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna himself. From the ramparts of the Red Fort, PM Modi, while delivering the Independence Day speech, announced that India will launch the Sudarshan Chakra Mission to create an aerial shield and precision counterstrike capabilities in the next 10 years, by mission, he said, would serve as a protective shield over the nation, guarding it against all aerial threats, much like Israel's Iron Dome."India will get its own version of the Iron Dome, it seems. The Sudarshan Chakra Mission," posted a defence portal, Sensei Kraken Zero, on X.
"Drawing inspiration from Lord Krishna's Sudarshan Chakra," Modi added, the new technology platforms under the Rashtra Suraksha Kavach initiative will be deployed to protect "every place of national significance, critical infrastructure such as hospitals, religious sites, and other sensitive locations with emerging technologies".The announcement came in the wake of a Pakistani attempt to target Indian civilian infrastructure this May during a three-day mini-war. Sudarshan Chakra Mission is the government's attempt to secure Indian skies within the next decade."In the next ten years, by 2035, I want to expand, strengthen, and modernise this national security shield. Drawing inspiration from Lord Shri Krishna, we have chosen the path of the Sudarshan nation will be launching the Sudarshan Chakra Mission," PM Modi said while addressing the nation from the Red PM said that like the Sudarshan Chakra's capability, this technology will allow India to strike enemies with precision.- Ends
