IAF to boost Harop loitering munitions procurement post-2025 Indo-Pak conflict success.

In the aftermath of the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to significantly expand its arsenal of Israeli Harop loitering munitions following their successful operational deployment, which effectively neutralized multiple Pakistani radar systems despite intense electronic warfare. The IAF plans to procure an additional 50 Harop systems by mid-2026, while the Army seeks 100 more to enhance border patrol capabilities. Additionally, the indigenous Agnikaa variant developed by Adani Defence is expected to reduce import dependency and costs by 40%, integrating advanced features like compatibility with the Akash missile system. This procurement surge underscores India’s shift towards self-reliance in defense, reflecting a strategic pivot critical for future military readiness amid evolving regional threats.
