Taking a big step towards increasing the firepower of the Indian Army, indigenous defense company SMPP has handed over 106 turbojet engine-powered 'Kamikaze' drones to the Army. He has been named ‘Peacekeeper (Agniveg)’. These drones can attack up to a range of 180 km. Also can reach speed of 450kmph. That means its speed is more than 320kmph, the fastest flying Peregrine Falcon in the world. Not only this, neither will they be affected by jamming, nor will anyone be able to divert them from the target through spoofing. The company has said that it has handed over 100 operational and 6 training drones to the army. This delivery is considered an achievement in the field of India's indigenous defense manufacturing capability and unmanned warfare. These have been prepared with the help of Belarusian firm KB Indela. The company claims that this drone can perform completely autonomous precision strike missions. That is, after the target is set, it will complete the mission without any human intervention. What are Kamikaze Drones… Kamikaze drones are such drones which self-destruct while attacking the target. These are also called loitering munitions. This name is taken from the Kamikaze attack of the Second World War. When Japanese pilots launched suicide attacks by ramming their planes into enemy ships. When a drone is launched, it hovers in the air for a long time. Searches for targets with cameras and sensors. On meeting it, it moves rapidly towards it and explodes as soon as it collides. The advantage of these drones is that they are relatively cheap. Can attack accurately. Do not put the lives of soldiers in direct danger. Can target tanks, radar, cannon and military targets. The blast radius is only 5 meters, which means less loss of life and property. Agniveg has the ability to launch precise attacks on critical military infrastructure, logistics hubs, command centres, radar installations and other strategic targets on its own. During trials, Agniveg achieved a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of less than 5 meters while operating in a jamming and spoofing environment. In simple words, this drone is capable of attacking its target by getting very close to it. With this, only a part of a military base can be targeted. This causes less damage to the civilian structures around the target.
