India Builds Missile Defence and Strike Capability Amid China-Russia Drills

China recently test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile during a joint military exercise with Russia, raising regional security concerns. In response to such threats, India is developing a layered Ballistic Missile Defence system in collaboration with Israel. India's Defence Research and Development Organisation has successfully tested interceptors capable of engaging faster, longer-range missiles. The country is also advancing its fleet of indigenous nuclear-armed submarines intended for second-strike retaliatory capability. Further work is underway on next-generation interceptors designed to counter hypersonic missiles and those equipped with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles.
