Recent drone sightings along the India-Bangladesh border, particularly a Chinese-made drone near West Tripura, have heightened security concerns, mirroring tactics previously observed with Pakistan. Intelligence reports suggest a potential increase in drone activity for illegal activities, including infiltration and smuggling, exacerbated by the Bangladesh military’s acquisition of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones. India’s security agencies are ramping up surveillance and have deployed advanced counter-drone systems, recognizing the necessity to invest in counter-drone technologies to preemptively address emerging threats. This situation underscores the evolving dynamics of regional security and the need for India to enhance its defensive measures along its borders.
