Watch: Indian Army simulates future warfare using AI and drones near China border
In a major step towards modern warfare, the Indian Army tested artificial intelligence (AI)-based sensors, drones, and high-speed data systems during Exercise DIVYA DRISHTI in East Sikkim this July. As per the official release by Indian Army, the exercise aimed to enhance battlefield awareness, surveillance, and rapid response capabilities in high-altitude areas close to the China border. Modern tech tested in the Himalayas Troops from the Trishakti Corps conducted the exercise using a combination of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones, and ground-based systems. These platforms helped simulate real battlefield scenarios where quick coordination and decision-making are crucial.

This means that once a threat is detected by a sensor, the data is instantly passed on to the decision-makers, and the response can be launched quickly. Lieutenant General Rakesh Kapoor, Deputy Chief of Army Staff, reviewed the exercise on behalf of Army Headquarters.

We tested cutting-edge technologies in realistic field conditions. The lessons will help develop future technologies, doctrines, and tactics across the Indian Army, making us ready for any adversary and any terrain,' said Lt Gen Zubin A Minwalla, General Officer Commanding, Trishakti Corps. The Army sees this exercise as part of a broader effort to modernise its forces under the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India) vision. The technologies tested are also aligned with the Army's 'Decade of Transformation' initiative, which focuses on making the force more agile and technology-driven for the challenges ahead. Operation Sindoor begins with drone-enabled precision strikes In May, India's Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terrorist-linked locations in Pakistan and PoK. The mission included the deployment of loitering drones, also known as suicide or kamikaze drones, for surveillance and strikes alongside missile weapons. SkyStriker drones, in collaboration with Indian and Israeli firms, were used to loiter over target areas and effect precision hits on terrorist infrastructure without excessive collateral damage. Neutralizing incoming threats and drone warfare dynamics Between May 7 and May 10, Pakistan launched over 600 drone attacks against Indian military installations. India's integrated air defence systems, Akash missile batteries, Akashteer control systems, legacy anti-aircraft guns, radar nets and C-UAS tools, neutralised the majority, preventing damage to civilian or military infrastructure You Might Also Like: Facing two fronts, Indian Army drops the old playbook, gets agile with missiles, drones and commandos Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan stated that Pakistan used unarmed drones and loitering munitions on 10 May, but "none of them could actually inflict any damage" on India's infrastructure. Strategic impact and future readiness Operation Sindoor marked a major shift in India's approach to drone warfare. Indian forces combined reconnaissance drones, loitering munitions, high-speed decoy drones, and precision missiles like SCALP and HAMMER to achieve rapid and coordinated effects. Indigenous systems such as SkyStriker, Harop, and Nagastra‑1 were instrumental in target acquisition and engagement. Air defence units integrated these with the IACCS (Integrated Air Command and Control System) for real‑time operational command across services.

According to ANI, he said, 'Our teams are working to locate them. The vehicle was visible two days prior, but now with the rising river level, the vehicle cannot be located... We could locate a few mobile phones and identity cards, which we kept in the police station, but no trace of the missing individuals. Something like a dead body was visible. The body is at such a location in the cliff that we could not see it either through the u or by crossing the river with a lifeboat.'
