The Indian Army has set plans to lease Israel’s Heron TP drones which will be deployed along the LAC to keep a watch on the Chinese troops and their activities.
The Indian Army has plans to lease around four drones over the next few months.
The decision has been taken in view of the ongoing standoff between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.
The Army will get two drones by August and will be deployed along the eastern Ladakh region, confirmed officials.
Heron TP Drone
Heron TP can fly for almost 45 hours at an altitude of 35,000 feet. By deploying them along the LAC, they will be a constant eye in the sky keeping a watch on the enemy.
These drones have automatic cab-takeoff and landing (ATOL) technology, and also satellite systems. They are equipped with ultra-long range surveillance cameras
