Drone: The ongoing tension between Iran and Israel has once again brought the strength of drone war to the world. In response to the recent attack by Israel, Iran deployed more than 100 drones. In today’s era, drones are playing a decisive role in war just like traditional missiles. These unmanned aircraft (UAV) are now being used for monitoring as well as direct attacks.
India is also not behind in this technology. At the time of tension with Pakistan, India had destroyed many enemy UAVs in the air with its modern drone. India has many types of deadly and advanced drones which are used for monitoring and attacks. Let’s know the 5 most powerful drones in India with which the enemy trembles.
