Obnews Tech Desk: India has once again taken a tough stand against terrorism and carried out strong air strikes on nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK). This military action has been named 'Operation Sindoor', in which the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy together played an important role. This mission was specially used in LMS drone, also known as 'suicide drone'.

The drone, also called UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), is an aircraft that flies without pilots, crew or passengers. These drone are connected to the land operated control system and communication system, allowing their flight to be controlled from distance. Some drones are also completely automated, which reach their goals without a human participation. In such a situation, it is quite interesting to know what kind of drone power the Indian Army has, which makes the country stronger.

How is drone used in military operations?

1. To wander the target (target decoys):

The drone is used to confuse the enemy and clear the way for the real attack. Earlier this task was risky, but now it can be done safely with a remote control system.

2. For War Campaign (Combat Missions):

The impact in the war is fixed based on the ability, payload and accuracy of UACV (Unmanned Armed Combat Vehicle). This ensures that the drone targets the right target.

3. For monitoring and analysis (Assessment and Survelance):

The drone is used to monitor enemy activities, make contact with soldiers and share important information. These drones equipped with high-resolution cameras track enemy positions and movement.

Why does India need a drone?

Drones are low cost, easily available and extremely effective. Countries like America sell their peedator and reaper UCAVS only to reliable colleagues. At the same time, countries like China, Israel and Türkiye are making their own cheap UCAVs and India is now emerging strongly in this region.

Drone characteristics

Their slow speed, low size and minimum radar cross sections (RCs) make them hidden and attack. Traditional radars do not recognize small drones, so that they can quietly penetrate their goals.

Major drones used by Indian armed forces

1. DRDO practice (abhyas)

It is a high-speed expandable aerial target (HEAT), developed by DRDO's ADE. It is used in radar testing and live fire exercises for Indian armed forces.

7. DRDO Nishant (NINANT)

Nishant is an automatic UAV, designed for gathering intelligence, monitoring and artillery fire corrections in the enemy region. It can fly up to 4.5 hours and prove to be extremely effective in border areas.

8. DRDO target (lakshya)

The target is a high-speed target drone, designed for live fire training and target acquisition. It launches from the ground or ship and makes a parachute safe landing.

10. DRDO Pushpak (Pushpak)

Pushpak is a micro air vehicle (MAV), developed jointly by ADE and NAL. It is a mild, hand-launchy drone which is part of the National Micro Air Vehicle Program (NP-Micav).

11. NAL Slibird

Sliberd is a small, hand-launch UAV, developed by NAL and is capable of soft landing. It is suitable for police and military use with a 10 -kilometer range and one -hour flight capacity.

Many of these drones are capable of monitoring, attack, target setting and secret missions. India is becoming self -sufficient in the region with the partnership of DRDO and private companies.

conclusion

Drone technology is going to be the major basis for future wars. Given the antics of Pakistan and China, India now needs fast, skilled and cheap weapons, in which drones can play an important role. Indian defense organizations are working fast in this direction and in the coming time, India can become world power in this region.
