The Indian Military recently conducted a military operation against enemy air defense systems using Harpy drones. These dedicated drones, alternatively referred to as "kamikaze drones," are meant to locate and destroy radar systems by crashing into them with explosives.
Harpy drones are designed to fly for great distances and locate radar signals. They locate a radar and then dive down to destroy it. India has employed these drones, otherwise referred to as P-4 in the country's defense stock, to disrupt the enemy's capability to track aircraft or any other airborne objects.
The drone attacks were conducted as a response to a fatal attack in Indian-held Kashmir, where 26 were killed. India attributed the attack to Pakistan, even though Pakistan refuted any participation. India retaliated with strikes against what it referred to as terrorist camps on the other side of the border.
During these missions, Pakistan asserted that it had destroyed 25 Indian drones in the vicinity of major cities such as Lahore and Karachi. Some of the drones inflicted damage and injuries, and one civilian was said to have been killed.
The deployment of Harpy drones indicates that India is increasingly depending on new and high-technology weapons. These drones are part of a grand strategy to annihilate enemy defenses from the air without risking pilots.
As the two nations become increasingly hostile, there has been increasing military action along the border. Civilians have been relocated from combat zones, and airports have been temporarily shut down. The international community is urging India and Pakistan to remain peaceful and refrain from further conflict.
This occurrence is indicative of how drone warfare in the modern age is becoming increasingly integral to military planning, particularly where protracted conflicts exist.
