ALS-50 Drone: In recent years, India has evolved itself in defence technology and is continuing its aim to be self-reliant in weapons. During its journey, India has also emerged as a leading weapon manufacturer in the world, exporting several weapons to other countries. The country is no longer behind in defence technology, and the latest proof of this is our own indigenous ‘ALS-50’ loitering munition. It is capable of carrying out precision attacks on targets without risking the lives of soldiers. The ALS-50 proved its prowess in the recent Operation Sindoor. Now, the ALS-50, also known as a suicide drone, is impressing other countries at the Paris Air Show, which is one of the world’s largest aerospace events. It showcases how India is emerging as a global force in defence technologies.
ALS-50: Strength And Features
The deadly drone is developed by Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) with 100 percent Made in India parts. The drone is a multirole loitering munition, which is designed to strike accurately at enemy targets without putting the soldiers at risk.
