Indian Opinion Analysis:

The announcement of America’s advanced “Golden Dome” system reflects growing global emphasis on cutting-edge defense technologies amidst geopolitical tensions with China and Russia. For India, this development signals intensified competition in space-based defense systems-a domain where India’s programs have been gradually advancing through initiatives like ASAT (anti-satellite technology). While such advancements do not directly involve India, strategic recalibrations may emerge globally regarding arms capabilities.

India must carefully assess how innovations like golden Dome influence security dynamics across its neighborhood while aligning itself in international forums concerning weapons in space. Additionally, robust investment into indigenous technology could bolster India’s position in safeguarding regional peace without escalating arms races unnecessarily.
