Indian Air Force Prioritizes Long-Range Missiles Post Operation Sindoor

• The Indian Air Force (IAF) is shifting its focus from long-range stand-off weapons to induction of air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles with strike ranges exceeding 200 km.

• The move aims to enhance India’s ability to engage targets from safer distances, beyond enemy air defences.

• The IAF used advanced long-range weapons like BrahMos, SCALP, Rampage, and Crystal Maze missiles to neutralize enemy air bases and strategic assets from stand-off ranges of 250 km to 450 km.

• The IAF has requested the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to accelerate the development of longer-range variants of the Astra missile and the Russian R-37 missile.

• Plans are underway to procure at least two additional squadrons of the Russian S-400 Triumph surface-to-air missile system.

• The IAF recently set a record by shooting down a surveillance aircraft at a distance of over 300 kilometres.

Air LORA Acquisition Plans is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
