According to the X handle (TheLegateIN), the Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to forward deploy the Dharashakti Electronic Warfare (EW) system near the borders with Pakistan and China. Dharashakti is India’s latest ground-based EW and jamming system, which has demonstrated superior performance compared to the Israeli Scorpius-G system.
The Dharashakti EW system is capable of jamming multiple enemy Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems (AEWCS), fighter aircraft radars, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), as well as encrypted communication and navigation systems. This advanced capability enhances India’s defensive and offensive electronic warfare strategies, giving the IAF a significant technological edge in modern warfare scenarios.
The deployment of Dharashakti comes at a crucial time, as India continues to bolster its defence preparedness against evolving aerial threats from its adversaries. The system’s ability to neutralize a wide array of enemy electronic assets ensures enhanced situational awareness and operational security for Indian forces.
With electronic warfare playing an increasingly pivotal role in modern combat, the induction of the Dharashakti system marks a significant step in India’s self-reliance in advanced defence technologies. By deploying it along sensitive fronts, the IAF aims to counter potential threats and strengthen its electronic warfare capabilities, ensuring a strategic advantage in the region.
