In a major boost to India’s air defence, the Surya Very High Frequency (VHF) radar was reportedly delivered to the Indian Air Force (IAF). The Surya VHF is an indigenous system designed to detect stealth aircraft, reported The Economic Times. It was developed by Bengaluru-based Alpha Design Technologies Limited (ADTL).

The first of the six units was delivered to the IAF in mid-March 2025 under a ₹200 crore contract, according to reports.

Key Features of Surya VHF:

• Anti-Stealth Capabilities: The radar uses longer wavelengths, which reportedly allows it to detect stealth objects by minimizing the effects of radar-absorbing materials.
• It has a detection range of 360 kilometers for a target with a radar cross-section of 2 square meters, according to The Economic Times.
• The radar is mounted on two 6×6 vehicles and performs 10 rotations per minute.

The deployment of the Surya VHF radar enhances India’s multi-layered air defense network. Its reported induction comes amid speculation that China may provide the advanced fifth-generation stealth fighter jet J-35 to Pakistan later this year.


India’s air defence system received global appreciation during Operation Sindoor, launched by the Indian Armed Forces to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack in April this year. India carried out precision strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) on the intervening night of May 6 and 7.

In retaliation, Pakistan launched drone and missile attacks targeting both civilian and military installations. However, India’s air defence systems successfully thwarted the attack.

On the intervening night of May 9 and 10, India responded by striking 11 Pakistani air bases, inflicting heavy damage. On the afternoon of May 10, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) contacted his Indian counterpart and urged a ceasefire.

This is a very powerful Radar. It has 400 KM+ range. It uses GAN technology. Now Stealth advantage of any enemy missile is neutralized. Even more powerful one is in making. Let Pakistan bring China's junk plane. They will be targeted like JF 17 and J10s.

Full arrangement to Neutralize Chinese weapons is made. More weapons sale by China to Pakistan will invite more humiliation. It will be in the interest of China to not sell weapons to Pakistan nor engage with India in any conflict. It will invite humiliation without any exception. Modi is humiliating Xi on an average of less once in 3 years. He humiliated Dictator Xi in Chumar, followed by Doklam, Followed by Galwan and now in Pakistan. China's bubble of Propaganda is totally exposed. India has operationalized 30 KW direct energy weapons. 50, 100 and 300 KW weapons are in pipeline. It will be followed by Mega watt class DEW. Sale it to Taiwan, Sale it to Philippines and Vietnam. Scramjet test of 1500 KM + is in pipe line. India has already tested Scramjet engine for record 1050 seconds. Next generation systems are coming for more humiliation of China and its Proxies. In Operation Sindoor 2, Pakistan navy shall be wiped out airforce shall be crippled and army will be made useless. Nukes are already gone. Batter China find another proxy.
