In 2020, the Indian Army issued a Request for Information (RFI) for 100 loitering ammunition systems that are man-portable and can be used to take out personnel or soft skin targets. Warmate can carry two types of a warhead – high-explosive and thermobaric. WB Electronics claims it can also be equipped with a laser warhead and has a maximum speed of 150 km / h.
idrw.org has been told Warmate loitering ammunition was procured for the Indian Army’s special forces as larger orders for loitering ammunition in near future will be fulfilled by the Indian companies that have developed loitering ammunition but are going through Army trials that are under progress. Warmate loitering ammunition recently was seen in action after the Polish government supplied the Ukrainian armed forces with Warmate loitering ammunition that was used against Russian forces.
