New Delhi. The Indian Army is going to buy such small drones, which will be armed and, if needed, can kill the masters of terrorists based in Pakistan and destroy their bases. This news has been given by Hindi newspaper ‘Dainik Hindustan’. The newspaper quoted sources as saying that at present the army is going to prepare small armed drones with the help of industry. Army will buy 475 such drones in the first phase. These drones will have multiple rotors. That is, the chances of their failure will be less. According to the newspaper, each drone will be able to fly with a lethal payload i.e. bombs or missiles weighing up to 5 kg.
Army sources told the newspaper that after acquiring swarm drones, i.e. drones that attack the enemy in hundreds or thousands, now the army’s focus is on getting smaller drones against terrorists. The army has asked the industry that the small drones they make should be flying at least 3 km altitude for 3 consecutive hours. With this, apart from PoK, it will be able to attack far and wide within Pakistan as well. Guided bombs or missiles can be carried in these multi-rotor drones and the enemy can be targeted accurately while sitting in the country itself. Sources also say that the design of such armed drones is also being prepared by DRDO.
Apart from this, the Defense Ministry is also preparing to buy Predator drones from America. These are the same drones, with the help of which America is killing its enemies one by one. Recently, terrorist al-Zawahiri was killed by attacking with this drone. This drone does not have explosives but small missiles. With this, he attacks the target directly. Talks are going on with the US to buy 30 such drones. 10-10 such Predator drones will be given to the Army, Navy and Air Force.
