India has launched Mission Sudarshan Chakra, aimed at developing a multi-layered air and missile defense system by 2035, in response to threats from nuclear-armed neighbors Pakistan and China. The initiative, part of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign, seeks to enhance self-reliance in defense, generate high-tech jobs, and reduce imports, while facing challenges related to integration and funding. Key assets include indigenous missile systems and partnerships, particularly with Israel, to create an AI-driven defense shield.
