India’s private defence sector showcases long-range strike drone ‘KAL’ 🇮🇳🚀
During his visit to the CAPSS event at Subroto Park, CAS Amar Preet Singh witnessed the growing capabilities of India’s indigenous defence ecosystem, as Ghaziabad -based IG Defence unveiled KAL.
KAL is being described as India’s first privately developed long-range one-way attack drone like Shahed, designed with a strike range of up to 1,000 km, endurance of 7–8 hours, and a maximum take-off weight of 200 kg.
The platform reflects the rapid evolution of indigenous unmanned strike capabilities and the increasing role of the private sector in next-generation warfare technologies. @IGDefence@IAF_MCC@hqwaciaf

India’s own “Shahed-style” strike drone in the works?
Odisha-based IG Defence says it has designed a 1,000-km range one-way attack UAV under Project KAL.
Not a defence nerd and sharing heading specs without heavy scepticism.
• 1,000 km strike range
• 3–5 hr endurance
• Built for deep-penetration targets
So if this progresses from prototype to production, does this could mark India’s entry into the low-cost, long-range strike drone era that has reshaped conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East. via @bsindia
Shahed Drones of Iran are so successful that, now Indian Govt is planning to build such drones in India
But the question is, why now? What are you doing from more than a decade?
Iran has built them many years ago, even under heavy economic sanctions!🤷♀️
