These four Heron drones from Israel are state -of -the -art. Compared to all the drones present in the Indian Army, their strength, capacity, flight time is very much more. These drones cannot be jammed in any way. Heron drone is capable of flying for 52 hours once woke up in the air. It keeps flying in a lot of peace at a height of 35 thousand feet from the land i.e. ten and a half kilometers.

A ground station is built on the ground to control it. Which has a manual and automatic control system. This drone is capable of flying in any season. Heron Drone has many types of sensors and cameras. For example, thermographic camera i.e. infrared camera which help to see at night or in darkness. Apart from this, visible light airborne ground surveillance which takes pictures in daylight.

Also, many types of radar systems including intelligence systems have been installed. The biggest thing about this drone is that it can lock the target from the sky and give its exact position to the artillery i.e. tank or infrared Sikar missile. That is, the exact target found from the drone can be attacked from this pass of the border.

DRDO practice

DRDO exercise is a high -speed expenable air target (heat), developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) of the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) for the Indian Armed Forces. It is a drone that will be used as a target for various missile systems.

DRDO deadly

DRDO scientists have not given any information about its size, weight, range etc. But it is believed that it can go up to a height of 30 thousand feet. Its weight is less than 15 tons.
