Kamikaze drone
Over time, the country is trying to live up to the mantra of ‘Self-reliant India’. In this context, now the Indian Army itself is manufacturing kamikaze drones. This drone will fly into enemy territory and destroy it. This is India’s own drone. Domestic systems have been installed inside. The drone was destroyed after reaching its target. Khadgar Kore of the Indian Army builds these indigenous drones. That’s why they are named “Kharga” work drones.
The manufacturing cost of the Kharga Kamikaze drone is around Rs 30,000, which means it is a cost-effective drone. Very light weight, fast firing rate, easy to aim in the air. It can gather enemy intelligence during Army ground operations.
Ability to perform offensive attacks
It is capable of performing surveillance and reconnaissance missions and conducting kamikaze attacks on enemy forces. It is equipped with a high-definition camera and carries an explosive payload. A GPS navigation system is installed inside. It can avoid enemy radar and also has countermeasures against enemy electromagnetic spectrum interference.
The drones are being used in the Russian-Ukrainian and Israeli-Hamas conflicts in Gaza. Ukraine uses them extensively to target Russian infantry and armored vehicles.
What are your expertise?
Drones can fly over target areas for long periods of time. These contain explosives. Anyone sitting remotely can control them. These can be sent in groups, i.e. many drones can be sent together. This allows it to attack targets while avoiding enemy radar and defenses.
Where did the term kamikaze come from?
Kamikaze is a Japanese word. It has to do with a special unit that attacked during World War II. In such situations, pilots often destroyed the enemy by destroying fighter jets, and the name Kamikaze has been associated with any suicidal operation ever since.
Today, India is also developing a completely indigenous kamikaze drone. These new-age war machines of the 21st century are changing the rules of the game.
