India Prepares to Hunt the Fastest Missiles in the World - Project Kusha

India’s Project Kusha marks a major leap in indigenous air defence, aimed at building a system comparable to Russia’s S-500. Long dependent on Russian arms imports for high-end missile defence — from the S-400 to Akash variants — India is now shifting gears with a Make-in-India alternative. Project Kusha is being developed by DRDO and is expected to be a multi-layered, long-range air defence system that can neutralize everything from enemy aircraft and cruise missiles to hypersonic threats — much like what the Russian S-500 promises.

With global airspace getting more contested and threats becoming faster and stealthier, Project Kusha reflects India’s strategic intent to stop relying solely on imports and instead create its own tech that fits the future battlefield. The system is expected to combine active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars, long-range interceptors, and advanced tracking to offer protection across hundreds of kilometers.

This move also signals India’s ambition to de-risk its defence procurement by reducing foreign dependence, especially on Russia, amid geopolitical shifts. If successful, Project Kusha could make India one of the few nations with a domestically-built hypersonic-capable air defence system, giving it a decisive edge in both regional and global military equations.
