The Indian Army is set to procure anti-drone ammunition specifically designed for its Russian weapons systems as part of efforts to counter increasing drone threats along border regions. With the rise in drone incursions near sensitive areas, the Army has prioritized anti-drone capabilities. The ammunition is intended to neutralize small, hostile drones and enhance the defense preparedness of the armed forces.
Experts believe the procurement will bolster India’s response to emerging aerial threats, particularly from adversarial forces. The Army has already begun trials of these systems, with plans to induct them across multiple operational areas.
