India receives request from China's staunch enemy for D4 anti-drone system, not US, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, it is...
New Delhi: Taiwan has officially asked India for the weapons with which India had destroyed Pakistani drones during Operation Sindoor. Taiwan has sent a request to buy the D4 anti-drone system developed by India's DRDO and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). China is bound to get angry at this request of Taiwan because China does not want any country to help Taiwan. But the way China is giving defense packages and modern weapon systems to Pakistan, experts say that India should also hand over similar weapons to Taiwan.
The D4 anti-drone system has been developed by India's DRDO and manufactured by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). The power of the D4 anti-drone system was seen during Operation Sindoor, when Pakistan attacked India with about 300 to 400 drones made by Turkey and China. During this time, India shot down all the drones in the air itself. India also shot down Turkey's Bayraktar TB-2 drone. This revealed the strength of India's advanced soft kill jamming and hard kill laser capability which stunned the world.
D4, i.e. Detect, Deter, Destroy, Defend, is an integrated anti-drone system developed jointly by India's DRDO and BEL (Bharat Electronics Limited). This system works at 4 levels. Detect: Accurately detects the presence of drones with multi-frequency radar and EO/IR sensor. Deter: It can deviate enemy drones from the mission through signal jamming and GPS spoofing. Destroy: Drones armed with laser-based hard-kill technology and RF jammers in the system can be destroyed in the air itself. Defend: Ensures the protection of sensitive areas from any remaining drone or swarm attack.
China considers Taiwan as its part and has clearly stated that it does not mind using force to merge Taiwan with China. In the last few years, China has increased its military exercises and drone surveillance in the Taiwan Strait. Since 2024, the PLA has doubled the number of surveillance and attack drones near the Taiwan border. In such a situation, there is a great need for a first-rate anti-drone system for Taiwan.
