AI based suicide drones being purchased by China: Growing threat to India
China’s move on the Indian border: AI drones can pose a big threat China is going to buy 10 lakh AI based suicide drones for its army, which will join the Chinese army by 2026. These drones can pose a threat to India’s military structure, soldiers, tanks, air defense systems and missile silos. The Indian Defense Ministry has started the process of developing counter-systems to deal with these threats.
FPV Drones: New Weapon
The Russia-Ukraine war has given the world a new weapon of FPV drones (First Person View Drones). These drones are equipped with cameras, get power from turbo jet engines and attack accurately by fixing the target through GPS. So whether the target is stationary or running. Now India is in danger from such Chinese drones.
FPV drones cost just $1500 (about Rs 1.28 lakh), while a GPS guided artillery shell costs $100,000 (about Rs 8.53 lakh). This difference can be beneficial for the Indian Army.
Dangerous effects of drones
FPV drones are equipped with anti-tank weapons and can target any high-target. They can also destroy artillery, tanks and missile silos. A simultaneous attack of 500 to 1000 FPV drones can destroy any air defense system. These drones can also attack fast moving objects, military structures, armored vehicles and soldiers’ vehicles.
Traditionally, these drones operate on radio frequency signals. This allows them to be blocked. That is, through electronic warfare systems. But now these are also becoming advanced. China’s drone attack is a big threat to India.
Electronic warfare and security
FPV drones traditionally operate on radio frequency signals, which can be intercepted by electronic warfare systems. However, these drones are now becoming more advanced, which can pose new security challenges to India.
China’s preparation and India’s counter
China has planned to order 10 lakh suicide drones for its People’s Liberation Army (PLA), which can pose a serious challenge to India by 2026. These drones will be light, accurate and lethal and will be AI based. These drones can also have an impact on India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, which can pose a threat to India from three sides. It will be very difficult to deceive the drones. Therefore, India will have to be careful.
Threat of AI based drones
These AI based suicide drones of China can fly for 8 hours and will be able to deceive India’s air defense system. They can carry out precise attacks on important command centers of India. The use of these drones in large numbers can cause serious danger to Indian military structures. If they are launched in large numbers, they can destroy any air defense system. There can be a huge loss of life and property if the second wave arrives. India is also preparing.
China’s drone swarm training
China is training its army to operate drones and practicing drone swarm technology, in which hundreds of drones can carry out deadly attacks simultaneously. India is also preparing its soldiers. But still India has to be cautious.
India’s preparation
The Ministry of Defense of India has started searching for accurate, affordable and lethal counter systems to counter this threat. Along with this, the Indian defense industry has also been instructed to prepare the necessary security systems to deal with such threats.
