In a significant development for India’s defence capabilities, a private sector firm is now pioneering the development of turbojet-powered loitering munitions designed for the Indian Army and Navy.
These advanced munitions are set to revolutionize long-range target neutralization with their ability to strike from distances ranging from 25 km to 100 km. These loitering munitions can be launched from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), providing flexibility and adaptability in various combat scenarios, With a range of 25km to 100km, these munitions can engage targets deep within enemy territory.
These smart munitions can operate in swarms, overwhelming enemy defences with their small size and numbers, making them difficult to detect and intercept. The loitering munitions can deliver precision strikes on heavily defended targets, exploiting their compact form to penetrate enemy lines.
Essentially, these turbojet-powered loitering munitions can be seen as mini-cruise missiles with the added advantage of loitering capabilities. Their small size allows them to evade detection and strike targets with precision.
One of the standout features of this turbojet-powered loitering munition is its cost-effectiveness. The turbojet engines used to power these munitions are relatively inexpensive due to their low power generation requirements. The private sector’s capability to mass-produce these engines further drives down costs, making these munitions an affordable yet potent option for the Indian Armed Forces.
