    India's Current & Future UAVs & UCAVs

    Depends. There are power requirements and if there are sufficient power, the range it could provide protection. Drones are slow moving and they can’t give efficient cover to any fighters or even transports. Now if it’s Ghatak Ucav it might, but not normal drones.

    Other nations have non stealthy UCAVs flying as well. We have none. Ghatak was started long before many countries announces stealth UAV projects. The primary mistake we made was to try to jump to stealth UAVs when we have issues even with normal non stealthy non weaponized MALE drones. When that...

    Its not about money. Trust me. Our bureaucracy has a lot of honey trapped people. And promised safe haven in the west if shit hits the fan. Its an deliberate attempt at not letting the domestic industry grow. The private sector can give bribe money too. They can. But it's about wrecking our...
