India's Akash Missile System Gains Spotlight Amid Defence Industry GrowthPreviousNext

Operation Sindoor highlighted India's indigenous Akash missile system's effectiveness in live combat, amid global shortages of advanced air-defence systems like the Patriot. Supported by Vision 2030, India is rapidly developing its defence-industrial complex, with production exceeding $18 billion and exports to over 80 countries. Alongside Akash and Pinaka, India is advancing next-generation military technologies including drones, radars, and electronic warfare systems, transitioning from a major arms importer to a significant exporter.
