The Indian Army has commenced the use of drones to transport ammunition boxes directly to frontline troops in high-altitude areas along the Line of Actual Control with China, showcasing a significant advancement in defense logistics. These in-service drones can deliver payloads ranging from 5kg to 250kg, enhancing supply efficiency while minimizing risks to personnel. As part of India’s push for self-reliance in defense, this initiative aligns with the Make in India initiative and recent collaborations for UAV development. The integration of these drones not only expedites logistics but also represents a transformative shift in operational capabilities, potentially saving lives and improving supply chain effectiveness in challenging terrains.
