India's Sudarshan Chakra shield: Forging the future of air defence beyond the Iron Dome paradigm
Friday, 29 August 2025 () When Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Mission Sudarshan Chakra in his Independence Day speech, he presented India's most ambitious defence programme since independence-a multi-layered air defence shield to guard the nation's skies.

Washington’s high-stakes pressure campaign against India has backfired. Despite unprecedented tariffs and repeated threats over Russian oil imports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to bend. Russian crude still accounts for nearly one-third of India’s imports, and refiners show no signs of slowing down. Reports suggest Modi even ignored four calls from Donald Trump, signaling India’s sovereignty is not for sale. Instead of bowing, New Delhi is deepening its BRICS diplomacy — sending top aides to Moscow, hosting Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, and preparing for a landmark trip to China where Modi will meet Putin at the SCO summit. For the US, the outcome is bitter: higher prices for its own consumers, while India expands its strategic clout. As global power balances shift, Modi has made it clear — India won’t be bullied.

Several Israelis were injured after a major Houthi missile strike targeted central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Air raid sirens blared across the region as Israel’s Iron Dome failed to intercept all projectiles, allowing missile fragments to hit residential and strategic areas. Ben Gurion Airport operations were disrupted, and chaos spread across major cities. The Houthi military, led by spokesperson Yahya Saree, claimed responsibility for the attack, describing it as a “successful strike against Israeli targets.” Dramatic videos show explosions, debris, and civilians rushing to shelters, highlighting serious vulnerabilities in Israel’s air defense systems.

Yemen’s Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Aviv’s missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets — including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemen’s relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear — Gaza’s resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable?

Tensions between Yemen’s Houthis and Israel escalated once again as the Israeli Defense Forces confirmed a drone attack launched from Yemen. Though intercepted mid-air by the Israeli Air Force, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sent shockwaves across southern Israel. Sirens blared in towns like Sderot and Ibim, forcing residents to brace for impact. While the IDF later declared it a false identification, the psychological impact was undeniable.
The Houthis, who have repeatedly warned of retaliation against Israeli aggression in Gaza and beyond, appear determined to demonstrate their reach. With no physical damage reported, the attack still achieved its objective—rattling Israeli nerves. This calculated strike underscores the Houthis' growing drone capabilities and rising confidence amid the wider regional unrest. As false alarms and interceptions multiply, so do fears of a larger confrontation that could drag Israel deeper into a multi-front conflict.

Houthi forces launched a missile toward Israel after the IDF carried out drone strikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah port, a key hub allegedly used to import Iranian weapons. The Israeli military said the missile was intercepted by its Iron Dome defense system with no injuries reported. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the Houthis would “pay a heavy price” for future attacks. This marks Israel’s 13th strike on Yemen amid escalating missile and drone launches from the region. Since July, six missiles and two drones have targeted Israel without success.
