India Enhances Counter-Drone Measures Amid Reports of Pakistan-Backed Drone Smuggling
Reports indicate that Pakistan-based terror networks, supported by military and intelligence agencies, are increasingly using high-altitude reconnaissance drones and smaller multirotor UAVs to transport weapons, explosives, and cash into India, bypassing heavily fortified border areas. Indian security forces, including Punjab Police and Border Security Force, have enhanced counter-drone measures by deploying surveillance drones and anti-drone systems along vulnerable border regions to detect and intercept these aerial consignments. Coordination between agencies aims to strengthen response capabilities against this evolving drone threat.
