Air force seeks to make Garud Commandos deadlier with loitering munitions

The Indian Air Force seeks indigenous man-portable loitering munitions for its special forces. These systems will provide Garud commandos with enhanced precision strike capabilities. The weapons must be portable and offer extended flight and range for operations. They will enable independent strike options and improve situational awareness behind enemy lines. This initiative aims to boost the Garud unit's effectiveness across various mission profiles.
