Indian Army's T-90S Bhishma Tank Upgraded with Anti-UAS System
The Indian Army’s T-90S Bhishma main battle tank has been enhanced with a newly designed anti-unmanned aerial system (anti-UAS) top-attack protection system, marking a significant improvement in its defensive capabilities. This upgrade, observed during recent field exercises, features a sleeker, lower-profile design that integrates seamlessly with the tank’s chassis, improving both mobility and aerodynamic efficiency. With approximately 1,300 units in service, the T-90S Bhishma’s modernization reflects India’s commitment to indigenous defense innovation amidst rising concerns over drone warfare along its borders with China and Pakistan. This development underscores the Indian Army’s proactive approach to counter emerging threats and enhance armored vehicle survivability in contemporary combat scenarios.
