Can India match China's PL-15 in the skies? Are Indian air-to-air missiles already outgunned by Pakistan's F-16s? Is the IAF's Meteor on the Rafale really enough or already outranged? And what does it mean for India's Tejas and legacy fighters?

In CTRL ALT DEFENCE episode 24, Vishnu Som answers Shiv Aroor's burning questions on India's air defence vis a vis air-to-air missiles. A dive deep into the growing missile gap in South Asia  and what India must do to close it. From the Chinese PL-15's jaw-dropping range to the limitations of MICA, R-77, and even Meteor, this is a candid, fact-driven discussion on how ultra long-range air-to-air missiles are reshaping modern aerial combat.

Can India's Astra Mk2 arrive in time? Can indigenous tech hold its own?

And... can Vishnu and Shiv really make their INS Arihant dreams come true?

Recorded at the NDTV World Summit, this special edition brings the entire CTRL ALT DEFENCE team together - right from the heart of Bharat Mandapam.

Don't miss it. Defense is changing fast. Are we ready?
