Tezzbuzz Desk- The Indian Army has taken a big step towards strengthening its drone capability. Army contacted domestic companies 840 one-way attack drone A total of contracts worth Rs 1,577 crore have been signed for purchase. These drones have been designed to target targets at a distance of more than 100 kilometers. The special thing is that these drones are supplied by two major defense companies of the country. Tata Advanced Systems And nibe defense Will do. The Army is expected to take delivery of these drones within the next 12 months. These drones are being procured under the fast-track process. The objective of this process is to rapidly meet the immediate needs of the Army. Under this, the companies winning the contract have to start the supply within six months. This is said to be the first major order for long-range one-way attack drones for the Army under the fast-track process.

In such a situation, amidst these challenges, the effective capability of drones will be important for the army.

The experiences gained from recent military operations have also been taken into account in the development and testing of these drones. According to the report, these systems were tested in harsh conditions, including performance in a jamming environment during flight. The large-scale use of drones and loitering munitions in the Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in West Asia has highlighted their growing role in modern warfare.
