India has successfully tested a new integrated air defense system off the coast of Odisha, capable of shooting down three targets at different altitudes and ranges. China has developed several advanced military systems, including the FK-3000 air defense system designed to counter low-altitude drone swarms with a firing range of 300 meters to 12 kilometers, equipped with two 30mm cannons and 12 short-range missiles each. Additionally, China possesses the HQ-29 anti-ballistic missile with an effective ceiling over 600 kilometers and a slant range of 2,000 kilometers, which can be used defensively and offensively to prevent enemy missile launches. China also fields 750mm rocket artillery with an effective range of 600 kilometers. In the United States, the Army awarded Sikorsky a $43 million contract to modernize UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters to carry and launch unmanned aerial systems. The US Navy is enhancing its missile-attack drill capabilities and exploring the use of drone vessels to address rising threats. Meanwhile, Iranian naval forces conducted successful cruise missile strikes on targets in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Oman during recent drills.
