FUFA: India's Stealth UCAV Set to Transform Air Warfare
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is advancing its capabilities with the development of the Futuristic Unmanned Fighter Aircraft (FUFA), a stealth UCAV in collaboration with DRDO’s Aeronautical Development Establishment. Designed for deep infiltration into enemy airspace, FUFA integrates AI and long-range missiles, potentially transforming air warfare by engaging enemy fighters and AWACS while keeping pilots safe. Optimized for high-speed combat, it features a low-observable design to evade advanced air defense systems like China’s HQ-9 and Russia’s S-400. This initiative not only enhances IAF’s operational effectiveness but also aligns with India’s strategy to maintain air superiority in contested regions, showcasing an innovative leap in unmanned combat technology.
