A Firstpost defence dispatch questions whether Pakistan is setting up a drone route via Rajasthan, highlighting potential security concerns for India.
A recent defence dispatch published by Firstpost has raised concerns that Pakistan may be attempting to create a drone corridor through the Indian state of Rajasthan. The article suggests that such a route could be used to launch unmanned aerial attacks across the border, posing a new security challenge for Indian defence forces.
While the report does not provide concrete evidence, it points to the strategic significance of Rajasthan's border areas and the need for heightened vigilance. Indian defence analysts are reportedly monitoring the situation closely to assess any potential threats.
The dispatch also briefly mentioned the Indian Air Force's new satellite, named Agniv, underscoring ongoing efforts to enhance surveillance capabilities, though the primary focus remained on the alleged drone route.
Authorities have not issued an official statement on the matter, and the issue remains under observation as part of broader Indo‑Pak security dynamics.
