Russia’s S-400 is among the toughest, with radars reaching 400km and missiles of similar range. Though rarely fired to maximum distance, this capability enables flexible engagement within the given range.

Former President APJ Abdul Kalam, who served in DRDO for almost four decades, had mooted the idea of DRDO schools to develop scientific temperament among students. He had also envisaged the schools benefiting children of officials of DRDO, which has a network of 50 laboratories working on defence technology. Some of these labs are in remote, isolated areas.
