Hindustan Aeronautics Limited developing larger drone to outclass Iran's Shahed
India
HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) is working on a new drone that is set to outdo Iran's well-known Shahed drones.
The plan? Create something larger and more powerful for both surveillance and strike missions, giving India's military some serious tech upgrades.
HAL seeks advanced long-range drones
Drones like the Shahed have made headlines in conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war because they are affordable and can fly long distances.
HAL wants to take things up a notch with advanced technology and better range.
This move fits into India's push to modernize its military, alongside the Israeli and American drones to keep pace with how warfare is evolving worldwide.
