In this way India Uses Advanced Drones to Track Chinese Activities Along LAC
New Delhi: Indian Army’s aviation base with its advance-tech Heron drones is helping in keeping a close watch on the Chinese activities along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the highly sensitive Arunachal Pradesh sector.
According to an exclusive report by ANI, the army base is also equipped with other important assets including the ALH Dhruv including its weaponised version Rudra to enhance the capabilities of forces on the ground at a time when India and China have been engaged in a military standoff since last year.
Explaining in detail, the capabilities of the Israel-origin Heron drones, Major Karthik Garg told ANI, “This is the most beautiful aircraft as far as surveillance resources are concerned. Since its inception, it has been the backbone of surveillance. It can climb up to 30,000 ft and continue to give feed to commanders on the ground. So that, we can manoeuver forces on the ground. It has an endurance of 24- 30 hours at a stretch."
