WEBDESK: Following its setback in Operation Sindoor, the Modi government has plunged deeper into military aggression. With rising tensions along borders, India’s war-focused leadership is placing the peace of South Asia at serious risk.
According to the Indian newspaper, the Indian army has now decided to permanently deploy drones at the battalion level. This marks a major shift in its war strategy, especially after the failure in Sindoor.
The Indian Express reports that drones will now play a central role in India’s battlefield plans. Infantry, artillery, and armoured units are being given special drone operating teams. These drones will be used for target identification and precision strikes.
Additionally, engineering regiments will use drones to detect landmines, while the army works to reduce reliance on helicopters by expanding drone aviation.
The deployment of drones in the army’s aviation wing signals a serious transformation in India’s military planning. India is also rushing to acquire anti-drone capabilities, preparing for high-tech warfare at a rapid pace.
Analysts say this shift reveals India’s increasing tilt towards drone-based warfare a dangerous move that threatens to destabilise the military balance in the region.
After its embarrassment in Operation Sindoor, the Modi government is seen trying to cover up its defeat by buying modern weapons and speeding up defence upgrades. However, this strategy is raising concerns across South Asia.
India’s drone race is adding fuel to the fire. With Modi’s aggressive war policies, peace in the region has become more fragile and uncertain than ever.
