India’s indigenous Project Kusha continues to make steady progress as engineers advance the country’s next generation of long-range air defense technology. Recent testing demonstrated encouraging performance from one of the interceptor variants, highlighting the effectiveness of the missile’s propulsion and guidance systems during developmental evaluation. The program is expected to deliver a family of interceptors capable of protecting strategic assets against a wide range of modern aerial threats while providing a layered national air defense capability. Supported by Indian defense industries and research organizations, Project Kusha reflects the country’s long-term commitment to developing advanced missile technologies under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative while reducing dependence on imported air defense systems.
