According to sources, the drone is expected to have a range of over 50 km and an endurance of around 30 minutes. Equipped with electro-optical and infrared sensors, it will be capable of surveillance as well as target identification. Importantly, it will continue to operate even if enemy forces jam or disable GPS signals.

The project is on a fast track, with the IAF hoping to complete development, testing and delivery of an initial batch within a year. This will involve helicopter drop trials, payload integration and high-altitude testing before the system is cleared for operational use.

…and just like that, in a blink of an eye the Apache goes from being considered obsolete because of drones to being widely utilized all over the world as both a counter drone AND drone launch platform.

It almost makes you dizzy it happened so fast if you subscribe to the prevailing narratives about these things as they spin meaninglessly around like tops. This is old this is new this is old this is new…

Who could have predicted this??
