Indian army buys 850 drones to monitor borders with China and Pakistan
At present, the Indian armed forces are going to acquire 850 nano-drones to monitor the operational situation in the areas of the borders with China, as well as for anti-terrorist operations in the area of the India-Pakistan border. This is reported by the Indian press, citing sources in the national security forces.
Indian analysts argue that the operational usefulness of the unmanned aviation was demonstrated by a 33-month low-key confrontation on the Sino-Indian border, as well as numerous armed conflicts around the world - from the clash between Armenia and Azerbaijan to the events in Ukraine.
The acquisition of unmanned aerial vehicles by the Indian armed forces will allow the army to carry out special tasks in conventional and counter-terrorism operations. After all, UAVs allow you to have increased awareness of events at the border.
The country's military department reports that the process of acquiring reconnaissance drones, drones-kamikaze and cargo UAVs for the needs of the infantry units of the Indian army has already begun.
Currently, according to the Indian press, the military department plans to purchase 12 "drone swarms", each of which includes 50-75 artificial intelligence unmanned aerial vehicles that can communicate with control stations and among themselves.
Seven swarms of drones are planned to be used in the area of the China-India border, and five swarms of drones - on the India-Pakistan border. The Indian army believes that the deployment of drones will significantly increase the security of border areas in Kashmir and Ladakh.
