IAF keen on inducting more drones

Issue No. 4 | February 16-29, 2012

The Indian Air Force (IAF) plans to induct more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in its fleet for surveillance and reconnaissance on the borders as an effective weapon for deterrence, a senior official said.

“We are ready to induct more drones in view of their capability to perform specific tasks on borders. There is a team in Delhi which is studying our present and future requirements,” said IAF Training Command chief Air Marshal Dhiraj Kukreja.

The IAF flies the Israeli-made Searcher II and Heron for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes. About 100 Searchers are in operation on Indian borders in western, northern and eastern regions. The air force also operates Lakshya as a towed aerial sub-target for live fire training.
