The Indian Army is considering an acquisition of state-of-the-art Israeli Spike Firefly “loitering” ammunition and hand-launched, remotely controlled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) "Raven" from the US, Hindustan Times has reported.
These weapon systems would add more lethality to army ground infantry units.
Here is a video of the firefly in action.
The weapon comes with a Beyond Line of Sight Sight of Line combat capability and promises to eliminate the advantage of the enemy taking cover and the need to engage in long-drawn-out firefights.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
