Bad news for drones from Turkey China, Pakistan, Indian army to get new weapon which can destroy enemy in…, name is…
As drones play a growing role in modern warfare, the Indian Army is speeding up its preparations to deal with aerial threats. Just like it strengthens its other weapons, the Army is now focusing seriously on drone technology and air defense. To protect the country from enemy drones, a powerful air defense system is being developed.
During Operation Sindoor, India successfully defended itself against a wave of aerial drone attacks launched by Pakistan. Hundreds of drones were deployed to target both military and civilian infrastructure. However, most were intercepted and destroyed mid-air by India’s advanced air defence systems. Following this, the Indian Army is now looking to upgrade its capabilities to counter the next generation of drones—those guided by satellite navigation systems such as the U.S.-based GPS and China’s BeiDou, which is also being used by Pakistan.
Therefore, the Indian Army has invited Indian defense companies to come forward with proposals to build an advanced Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS). This system will help detect, track, and destroy enemy drones in real time.
According to defense experts, this land-based C-UAS will be able to recognize the type of drone approaching, follow its path, and take it down while it’s still in the air. Once in action, this will greatly boost the Army’s ability to stop aerial attacks.
The move comes in response to increasing drone threats from neighboring countries like China and Pakistan. The Army wants to build this system using Indian-made technology and has already issued a formal Request for Information (RFI).
As per the RFI, the system must work in real-time to detect and disable enemy drones. The Army plans to deploy these systems at various locations—from high altitudes of 14,500 feet to plains, deserts, and forested regions.
Along with defense, India is also developing its offensive drone power. The country is working on building a stealth drone called U-CAV. This advanced drone will be powered by the Kaveri jet engine, which is currently undergoing final testing in Russia.
