India has built one of the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world, combining indigenous, imported, and jointly developed technologies.
From the Russian S-400 and the homegrown Akash SAM to the upcoming Project Kusha, India is preparing to counter threats from China and Pakistan.
But how does it compare to Israelâs Iron Dome?
While Iron Dome specializes in short-range rocket interceptions, Indiaâs focus lies in defending against ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, stealth jets, and hypersonic threats over greater distances.
In a historic first, Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh confirmed that India shot down five Pakistani jets during Operation Sindoor â the largest surface-to-air Kill in IAF history. Using advanced S-400 air defence systems, the IAF destroyed enemy aircraft, including an AEW&C at 300 km range, crippling Pakistanâs air defence and damaging multiple F-16s at Shahbaz Jacobabad airfield. Command centres, radars, and hangars were also hit as India asserted dominance during the 80â90 hours of intense fighting. This marks a new chapter in modern aerial warfare.

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 Israelâs 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 âsuccessful strike against Israeli targets.â Dramatic videos show explosions, debris, and civilians rushing to shelters, highlighting serious vulnerabilities in Israelâs air defense systems.

Yemenâs Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Avivâs missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets â 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 Yemenâs 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 â Gazaâs resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable?

Tensions between Yemenâs 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 objectiveârattling 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 Yemenâs 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 âpay a heavy priceâ for future attacks. This marks Israelâs 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.

Al-Quds Brigades released a chilling video showing fighters launching a heavy rocket barrage on Israeli towns including Sderot, Mefalsim, and Nir Am. The attack, dedicated to slain commander Hajj Ramadan, signals Hamasâ ongoing resilience in Gaza despite months of conflict. The video praised Iran and Yemen for their support, highlighting the growing regional axis backing Hamas. With over 20,000 fighters still active, Hamas continues its offensive, testing Israelâs Iron Dome defense and escalating tensions across the region.

The Israeli Air Force launched massive daylight airstrikes on Yemenâs capital Sanaa, striking multiple Houthi targets, including areas near the presidential palace, power plants, and military fuel depots. More than 30 air raids sent huge clouds of smoke over the city, causing widespread power outages and shaking Houthi strongholds. The strikes followed Houthi drone and missile attacks on Israel, with officials claiming one carried a rare cluster bomb warhead. Casualties remain unclear, but social media visuals confirm severe destruction across Sanaa.
