Using Home-Grown Tech, Border Force Sees Major Gains In Drone Warfare
NDTV
The BSF has neutralised 16 drones so far this year, compared to just one in 2021.
Make-in-India technology is helping the Border Security Force (BSF) shoot down drones carrying deadly weapons, ammunition and drugs from Pakistan with greater success, the chief of the force told NDTV on Wednesday, revealing how it has neutralised 16 drones so far this year, compared to just one in 2021.
"Drones are a big challenge. Although we have installed an anti-drone set up along the border, we don't have such a setup which covers the entire western sector. We are in talks with many Indian companies. In the coming days, we may deploy this new technology in many more sensitive areas," BSF Director General Pankaj Singh said.
The force has also developed drones which can drop tear gas shells with precision. "In Tekanpur, our tear-gas unit has developed these types of drones which can carry as many as five shells too, and they can drop these shells on precise locations. But as of now, this technology only has been developed and not distributed," he said.
According to the BSF, most drones flown across the border are made in China and are available in the open market easily.
