India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted the maiden flight-test of the Kusha long-range surface-to-air missile on 23 July 2026, marking a significant step in strengthening the country’s air defence capabilities. However, the test has also raised questions as key performance details remain undisclosed by the DRDO.
While the successful launch is being hailed as a milestone, analysts point to the lack of transparency regarding the missile’s range, accuracy, and interception capability. The limited information released leaves room for speculation about the weapon system’s actual readiness.
The real challenge, experts say, lies ahead: operational induction. Integrating the Kusha missile into existing defence networks and ensuring reliable performance under battle conditions will be the true measure of success. The DRDO’s next steps will be closely watched by both the military and the public.
