While 100s of Missiles Flew Over City, Grandpa Enjoying on Terrace – Thanks to This India’s Air Defence System!

During a recent event in Jammu, India, something incredible happened. Hundreds of drones and missiles were launched from across the border by Pakistan—but not a single one reached its target. Why? Because India’s air defence system was fully alert and ready.

Locals say it was surreal. One person shared, “While the sky lit up with explosions, my grandpa sat calmly on chair on the terrace, watching it all. Another user wrote, The missiles were destroyed like flies before they could reach us.”

—I live in Jammu, but i am so proud of our Army, they will keep us safe!

So what exactly happened?

As soon as the drones and missiles were launched, India’s radar systems picked them up instantly. These radars track any object flying through the sky—especially those coming from enemy territory. Once identified, automated systems quickly respond by launching interceptor missiles or using anti-drone weapons to shoot them down.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

• A missile or drone is detected by radar.
• The system locks on to its speed, direction, and altitude.
• Within seconds, interceptors (like small, super-fast rockets) are launched to hit the target mid-air.
• These interceptors explode before the enemy missile can land, destroying it safely in the sky.

India used some powerful systems during this event:

• The S-400 Triumf, one of the most advanced missile defence systems in the world.
• The Sudarshan Chakra grid, developed in India, which detects and guides attacks on incoming drones and missiles.
• The Integrated Counter-UAS System, designed specifically to hunt and destroy enemy drones.

Thanks to this multi-layered defence, over 100 threats were neutralised before they could harm anyone. No damage, no injuries—just precision and protection.

This incident proves how India’s growing defence technology is not just about weapons, but about saving lives and keeping cities like Jammu safe, even in moments of extreme danger.

And perhaps the best image of all? A grandfather peacefully enjoying the night sky, while a silent army of machines and heroes worked above to protect him.
