- India's own long-range air defence system, titled 'Project Kusha', is being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
- It will be capable of detecting and destroying enemy projectiles and armour, including cruise missiles, stealth fighter jets, and drones at long range.
- The ambitious project is believed to not only perform better than Israel's Iron Dome system, but also rival the effectiveness of Russia's S-400 system and the 'Patriot' system of the United States.
- The indigenous long-range surface-to-air defence system (LR-SAM) includes long-range surveillance and fire control radars, along with interceptor missiles.
- These missiles can detect and strike hostile targets at the ranges of 150 km, 200 km, and 350 km.
- It will also be effective in providing strategic and tactical cover.
- The system reportedly has a single-shot kill chance of at least 80% and over 90% when two missiles are fired after each other.
