The star of Indian defence is called S-400. In October 2018, India signed a $5.13 billion deal with Russia to procure 5 squadrons of the S-400 Triumf air defence system. The S-400 known in India as "SUDARSHAN CHAKRA" is designed to counter threats from across the world. It can engage aircrafts, drones. cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles at ranges upto 400km and altitude upto 30km.
The US opposed the deal warning it could trigger sanctions under CAATSA(Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act). Concerns were raised that deploying the S-400 alongside American systems could compromise US military technology, especially under the CAATSA provisions.
India stood firm on its decision emphasizing national security and strategic autonomy despite US warnings that the deal could invoke CAATSA. Nonetheless, deliveries began in 2021, highlighting India's commitment to an independent defense policy amid global pressure :)

It's overwhelming success for India and it's remarkable that not even a single missile and drone hit the target even though 100s were fired last evening/night.
India's Air defense is multi-layered Apart from S-400, India also has indigenous Akashteer and Israeli Israeli low-level Spyder quick-reaction anti-aircraft missiles (15km range) and Russian man-portable Igla-S (6km) system. I've come to know that India has also deployed newly indigenous VSHORADS in the recently.
So this actually makes India's Air defense system one of the best in the world. As far as Indian Army is concerned, it's preparedness is for much bigger enemy from the north.

You're much informed :) but not just air defence we have INS Vikramaditya roaming Pak's waters. Last time it went to war, a new country was created (Bangladesh 😂)

Hopefully this time at least two countries will be created. ;)

I was specifically talking about Air defense from land. I also know what other capabilities we have. ;) I know Karachi is trembling right now.

India’s decision to go ahead with the S-400 deal despite U.S. pressure is a strong statement of strategic independence. It’s a reminder that in a multipolar world, defense partnerships can’t be dictated by just one power bloc.

The war industry moves priceless capital. Wars will never disappear as long as there is so much money at stake.
Weapons first and reconstruction later.
Wars are only economic facts.
