Published: May 09 2025, 9 pmeznews.inThe Akash missile system, developed indigenously over 15 years, played a crucial role in neutralising missiles and drones during a Pakistani attack on western India on Thursday night. Designed by Dr. Prahlada Ramarao, the system can simultaneously engage multiple aerial threats, including drones and advanced fighter jets like the F-16. Dr. Ramarao, who was the youngest Project Director for the Akash programme, expressed immense pride in the system's performance, stating it exceeded expectations. Integrated with India's counter-unmanned aerial system and other anti-aircraft weapons, the Akash created a robust defence shield, demonstrating India’s capability to control its airspace. Manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited, the system can engage targets at altitudes of up to 20km and operates autonomously. With a recent export deal to Armenia, Dr. Ramarao's vision of "the whole sky is ours" has been realised through this advanced military technology.

Published: May 09 2025, 8 pmeznews.inThe Pakistani military has deployed Turkish-made 'Songar' armed drones, as announced in a government briefing on Friday. Developed by Ankara-based Asisguard, the Songar is notable for being the first armed drone in the Turkish military arsenal. It is available in five variants, each equipped with different weaponry, including an assault rifle, grenade launchers, and a mortar gripper, while a non-lethal version can carry tear gas or smoke canisters. The drones are capable of broadcasting real-time video and have a mission radius of up to 5 km, suggesting they were launched from locations near the Indian border. The grenade-launcher variant offers close air support, capable of firing two grenades with an effective range of 400-450 meters, enhancing Pakistan's military capabilities in the region. 
Published: May 09 2025, 8 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: The Indian government has accused Pakistan of deliberately targeting places of worship along the border in Jammu and Kashmir, citing damage to several gurudwaras, convents, and temples from recent shelling. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri condemned this escalation, particularly highlighting the tragic deaths of two students from a Christian school in Poonch due to Pakistani artillery fire. Misri stated that such actions represent a new low for Pakistan and dismissed Islamabad's claims that India was attacking its own cities as "a deranged fantasy." The tensions between the two nations have heightened following a terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, which India attributes to Pakistan. In retaliation, India launched 'Operation Sindoor,' targeting nine terror bases in Pakistan. Following these strikes, India reported heavy shelling from Pakistan, prompting defensive measures, including blackouts in several states to safeguard against potential air strikes.

In retaliation, Indian forces neutralized Pakistani air defense systems in locations including Lahore. The Indian government confirmed that its response was proportionate to Pakistan's aggression, employing advanced defense systems like the Russian-made S-400 to intercept threats. This escalation follows India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing over 100 militants in response to a terror attack that resulted in 26 civilian deaths. Despite the ongoing tensions, Indian officials emphasized their commitment to non-escalation, contingent on Pakistan's actions.
