S-400, Akash missiles, Spyder system: India's advanced air defence systems that neutralised Pakistan's drones and missiles mid-air
Friday, 9 May 2025 The Indian Army thwarted a barrage of targeted attacks from Pakistan using drones and other munitions throughout last night. But how did India effectively intercept the overnight series of strikes?
In a shocking escalation, Pakistan launched a series of artillery shelling and drone attacks targeting multiple locations in Jammu. The Indian Armed Forces responded swiftly with advanced air defence systems, intercepting hostile drones mid-air and launching a fierce counter-offensive. Air raid...
They travel faster than sound. Some even at Mach 20. They can strike any point on the planet within minutes — and no known defence system can stop them.
In this explosive breakdown, we take you inside the world’s fastest and most powerful missiles — Russia’s Avangard and Sarmat, China’s DF-41, the US Trident II D5 and Minuteman III — and reveal India’s imminent entry into the hypersonic elite.
From nuclear payloads to manoeuvrability and range, these weapons define modern deterrence and domination. And with India’s DRDO now testing indigenous hypersonic tech, the global arms race just got a new player.

Russia’s highly-touted S-400 air defense system is under intense scrutiny after a massive Ukrainian drone strike reportedly destroyed critical assets, including Russian bombers. On June 1, 2025, over 117 low-flying drones bypassed radar detection and targeted key military sites. Despite its reputation, the S-400 struggled to intercept these cheap, agile UAVs. Ukraine’s coordinated swarm attacks, use of jammers, decoys, and anti-radar missiles highlight growing vulnerabilities in legacy defense systems like the S-400—designed for jets and missiles, not modern drone warfare.
