Jammu, May 19 -- In a demonstration of India's rising defence prowess, the Indian Army showcased the indigenous Akashteer system and upgraded L-70 Air Defence Guns, both of which played a decisive role in intercepting every missile and drone during Pakistan's deadliest aerial assault on May 9-10.

Speaking to ANI about the upgraded air defence system's competence, an L-70 Air Defence Gun operator said, "This gun system is very effective...

As soon as they enter the effective range, firing action is taken."

The soldier added that the L-70 system achieved a 100 per cent success rate in destroying enemy drones...
