The Indian Air Force (IAF) is enhancing its air defense capabilities by procuring advanced anti-swarm drone systems to protect its bases against evolving threats, particularly from drone incursions by the Pakistan Air Force. This move follows successful repulsions of such attacks and aims to integrate kinetic interceptors and electronic countermeasures into a multi-layered defense network. The IAF is exploring both indigenous options, in line with the Make in India initiative, and international systems, ensuring robust protection of critical infrastructure. This strategic enhancement reflects India’s commitment to staying ahead in modern aerial warfare, particularly in contested regions.
