The Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) drone, which was created in India, has been successfully tested by the indian Army. This test was carried out in rajasthan at the Pokhran Firing Range.
Across the border, this drone will be utilized to destroy hostile targets. It has been given the designation 'RUDRASTRA' and can hit targets beyond 50 kilometers beyond. The army wants to purchase a lot of these drones because, in addition to assaulting deep within enemy territory, they can target enemy artillery and other firing locations.
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) 'Rudrastra' from Solar Aerospace and Defense Limited (SDAL) has been successfully tested, according to an ET article. The army is getting ready to use this drone for a variety of purposes. The 'Rudrastra' drone traveled 170 kilometers in total throughout the test. This entails staying in the air for almost 1.5 hours while hovering above the target area. Just above the earth, the shell that was dropped from the drone burst. As required by the army, it successfully destroyed the objectives spread across a wide region after detonating at a very low altitude from the surface.
To meet the demands of contemporary warfare, the indian army is concentrating more on weaponry made in the country. Particular focus is being placed on unmanned systems. When it comes to offensive weapons, the army is concentrating on these domestic drones because they can precisely strike an opponent 50–100 kilometers inside their territory. They will also be utilized to prevent infiltration attempts and strike and destroy terrorist hideouts. This will also target those enemy positions from which terrorists can penetrate using cover fire.
Sources claim that local drone manufacturers were asked to showcase their technology in response to the army's request. Such drones are intended to be 'stand-off weapons' by the army. This implies that it is possible to assault the enemy from a distance. Precision-targeting weaponry is installed aboard "Rudrastra" drones. Along with sending live videos and autonomously returning to the launching point, they can also be used to kill opposing forces. The army currently intends to purchase a significant quantity of these drones.
