DEFENCE NEWS – HAROP KILLER DRONES
Full Article:- https://saluteindia.org/defence-news-harop-killer-drones-microsat-r-military-satellite-launched/

In a bid to enhance its unmanned warfare capability, the Indian Air Force is planning to acquire around 15 more HAROP attack drones which can crash into high-value enemy military targets to destroy them completely. The IAF already has an inventory of these drones which are equipped with electro-optical sensors to loiter over high-value military targets such as surveillance bases and radar stations before exploding them.

As of now, the proposal for acquisition is under consideration. Once approved, the Indian Air Force would be exercising the option clause in the previous deal signed a few years ago with Israel which is the main supplier of all types of drones to the IAF. Also under discussion with the Israelis is Project Cheetah, under which almost all the drones of the three services would be turned into high-quality attack drones and their surveillance capabilities would also be enhanced. At present, the three Services have a fleet of more than 100 UAVs, acquired over the years in different batches. Work is also in progress on developing indigenous combat drones which would be deployed on India’s Western and Eastern borders.

Boeing progresses unmanned combat jet Loyal Wingman programme



Boeing has fielded a team of 15 autonomous test bed aircraft to refine autonomous control algorithms, data fusion, object detection systems, and collision avoidance behaviours.

The combined lab and field tests are important steps in meeting the goals of the Loyal Wingman – Advanced Development Program.

The program will result in a prototype aircraft that will test the potential of this cutting-edge technology. It is designed to protect and extend airpower by teaming multiple unmanned platforms with manned assets to achieve a range of missions.

This is how deadly precise Hellfire missile is. It's good India finally has access to it although I doubt it has this Samurai Hellfire which is jest suited for drone use.
