Advice : needs to shop for anti-drone systems.  And we are late…

  • 03 Jul 2021

Once again, India has failed to be proactive where it should have. Steps should have been taken much earlier to tackle this menace which everybody had anticipated. It is quite troubling to know that the Jammu Air Force Station, which is a sensitive location, did not have systems in place to tackle an attack from a non-military drone. Of course, now that an attack has happened, Anti-drone systems and more lights have been installed after the incident. The DRDO has already developed a system that offers both jamming and lasers to take down drones. But then if the system, which was also installed during the Prime Minister's Independence Day speech at Red Fort last year, was so good then why was it not procured? Were we waiting for an attack to happen for things to start moving?
