The Indian Army is acquiring approximately Rs 5,000 crore worth of indigenous drones designed to operate in challenging electronic warfare environments. These drones will fulfill three roles: short-range kamikaze, long-range precision munition, and ISR. Trials focused on resilience against jamming and spoofing, with a strict exclusion of Chinese components. The procurement utilizes emergency powers granted after Operation Sindoor, where similar drones were used. This move supports India's self-reliance in defense manufacturing.
