Why is it Important?
Emerging Drone Threats:
- Drones used in low-cost, high-impact attacks
- Capable of halting refinery operations, power grids, logistics hubs
- Damage costs may reach ₹400–800 crore/day or cause weeks of port/export disruption
Strategic Security Need:
- Protection of critical assets in peacetime is cheaper than rebuilding post-attack
- Drones have become an asymmetric warfare tool, requiring advanced air defence
Strategic Way Ahead
Collaborating with:
