The Indian Armed Forces currently rely heavily on Gun & laser-based solutions for CUAS hard-kill and EW for soft-kill. However, real-world combat lessons from Ukraine clearly show that forces need dedicated, kinetic hard-kill systems such as Bhargavastra, deployed in large numbers, to counter evolving aerial and loitering threats effectively.
