India's Air Force Receives Indigenous Radar System Capable of Detecting Enemy Drones up to 500 km
The Defence Ministry handed over a domestically built advanced radar to the Indian Air Force, capable of pinpointing hostile drones and combat aircraft at distances of up to 500 km along border regions.
The Defence Ministry officially transferred a cutting‑edge indigenous radar system to the Indian Air Force today. The new system can accurately detect enemy drones and combat aircraft up to 500 kilometres away, strengthening surveillance in border areas.
Developed entirely in India, the radar marks a major technological achievement for the country's defence sector and reduces dependence on foreign equipment. Its advanced detection range is expected to provide early warning and precise tracking of hostile aerial assets.
Officials highlighted that the handover underscores the government's drive for self‑reliance in defence capabilities, enhancing the Air Force's readiness to respond to potential threats along India's frontiers.
