India will bolster its defence capabilities with a new BrahMos missile production unit set to open amid escalating tensions with Pakistan.

A fake letter attributed to a DRDO scientist is circulating online, claiming that components of the BrahMos missile system have failed.

The DRDO and the Indian Navy have completed the validation trial of the Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM).

India has successfully tested its indigenous Mk-II(A) laser weapon, joining a select group of nations with advanced capabilities.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) has approved the acquisition of 307 Advanced Towed Artillery Gun Systems (ATAGS) for the Indian Army.

India has successfully conducted flight trials of a cutting-edge naval anti-ship missile, the NASM-SR, which features unique ‘Man-in-Loop’ capabilities.

Adani Defence & Aerospace, in collaboration with DRDO, unveiled India’s latest military innovation, Vehicle-Mounted Counter-Drone System, at Aero India 2025.

These developments not only strengthen the country’s military but also align with the “Make in India” initiative, with most new systems either fully made in India or heavily reliant on domestically manufactured components.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “Aatmanirbharta” (self-reliance) in defence was a central theme of the year. Speaking from the Red Fort on Independence Day.
