Homegrown & low-cost, it'll respond to large-scale drone threats

- HEMANT KUMAR ROUT @Bhubaneswar

IN a strategic leap for India's defence capabilities, the indigenously developed low-cost counter-drone system Bhargavastra was successfully test-fired in hard kill mode off Gopalpur coast in Odisha, effectively neutralising multiple targets with precision.

Sources said a series of trials were conducted at the seaward firing range on Tuesday validating the system's battle readiness. The tests came days after a major military standoff between India and Pakistan. The system, designed to swiftly respond to large-scale drone threats, demonstrated high accuracy in all trials.
