The trial was conducted in accordance with the Indian Army's performance parameters, including vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), high endurance, precision targeting, and mission flexibility. The UAV demonstrated robust operational capability, covering a mission radius of over 50 km with a stable real-time video link and successfully returning to the original launch point. The total range, including loitering at the target area, exceeded 170 km, with an estimated endurance of approximately 1.5 hours. A significant highlight of the trial was the successful deployment of a precision-guided anti-personnel warhead. Dropped from medium altitude, the munition executed an airburst detonation at low height, achieving a lethal effect over a wide radius, meeting tactical effectiveness benchmarks. (ANI)

Defence stocks see $5 billion rally as border tensions escalate
Indian defense firms have added more than $5 billion in market valuation since tensions escalated between the country and neighboring Pakistan following a brutal attack on tourists in Kashmir two weeks ago.

The index includes state-run aircraft maker Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. and missile firm Solar Industries India Ltd. Earlier Wednesday, India conducted targeted military strikes against Pakistan in a move seen as its retaliation of the Kashmir attack that killed 26 people.
