Loitering Munitions: The Suicide Drones Changing Modern War | CTRL ALT Defence Ep 03
What exactly is a loitering munition-and why are militaries around the world investing heavily in them? In this segment from CTRL ALT DEFENCE, Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor break down the rise of ‘suicide drones’ and munitions like the SkyStriker, Harop, and Harpy-drones that can circle a target area, lock onto a threat using advanced sensors, and then dive in to eliminate it with surgical precision. Operation Sindoor witnessed the use of these drones to target the terrorist locations in Pakistan. India is deploying these loitering munitions in large numbers, with many developed indigenously by companies like IdeaForge, DRDO, Tata Advanced Systems, and Adani-backed ventures.
