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 Israel’s Iron Dome?
While Iron Dome specializes in short-range rocket interceptions, India’s focus lies in defending against ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, stealth jets, and hypersonic threats over greater distances.
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.

The Indian Army has released dramatic footage showcasing its advanced air defense capabilities, including the S-400 and Akash missile systems in action. The video demonstrates how a potential attack on Amritsar — including drones and missiles allegedly launched from Pakistan — was successfully intercepted and neutralized before reaching sensitive targets like the Golden Temple. The demo highlights India’s readiness and precision in countering aerial threats, with the S-400 and Akash systems operating in full coordination to protect critical infrastructure and civilian lives.

In a dramatic escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict, Tehran has launched its first-ever hypersonic missile strike using the Fattah-1 — a Mach 15 precision weapon designed to evade all known missile defense systems, including Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome. Fired during the 11th phase of Operation True Promise III, the Fattah missile reportedly penetrated deep into Israeli airspace, shaking shelters and signaling a dangerous shift in regional warfare.

Iran launched a bold daylight missile strike on Tel Aviv, with five missiles reportedly penetrating Israeli defenses without interception. This alarming event marks a turning point in the war: Iran is escalating timing and tactics, and Israeli interceptor stockpiles may be running dangerously low. Reports suggest growing failure rates and a reliance on older systems. As Israel struggles to shield its cities, voices in Washington pushing for U.S. military involvement grow louder. Trump's recent actions indicate the U.S. may be preparing to step in, as Israeli defense crumbles under relentless Iranian pressure.

In a stunning escalation, Iran launched a next-gen guided missile at Israel’s Glilot intelligence center near Tel Aviv — reportedly the Mossad HQ. The Iranian Defense Ministry confirmed the use of this advanced missile in combat for the first time. Despite intense U.S.-backed air defense attempts, over 10 interceptors failed as the missile hit its mark. Dramatic footage shows fire at the strike site. This marks a significant failure of Israel’s Iron Dome and a new phase in Iran’s offensive capability amid the escalating regional conflict.

In a significant diplomatic development, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on July 15th, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants. During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship.
The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust. He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations.
A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation.
Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle. The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict. This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict.
