The Indian Army’s High-Altitude Drones
[]
The Diplomat
From surveillance missions to logistical support, the Indian military is currently employing drones from the high-altitude terrain of the Himalayas to the sea level near Jamnagar.
While combat-capable drones often attract the most attention, special focus should be given to the logistics drones the Indian army is operating along its northern frontiers.
The initial requirement was to acquire 163 high-altitude and 200 medium-altitude logistics drones, for a total of 363 logistics drones, in November 2022.
A recent report by Indian online media confirmed that the Indian Army has started deploying payloads through logistics drones at altitudes exceeding 12,000 ft.
Therefore, to address the new challenge posed by the high-altitude logistics drones of the Indian Army, Pakistan can deploy its counter-drone systems along the LOC.
