Army Revamps L-70 Guns: Drone Defence Gets a Major Boost
The Indian Army is significantly bolstering its air defence capabilities. A crucial upgrade is underway for its fleet of L-70 anti-aircraft guns.
These guns, proven effective against Pakistani drones during Operation Sindoor, are being fitted with advanced drone-detecting fire control radars.
This modernisation will dramatically enhance their ability to neutralise small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The upgrade also facilitates seamless integration with broader air defence networks.
The improved L-70 systems will provide a more robust, layered defence against the increasing threat of drone incursions. This is vital given the growing sophistication and accessibility of drone technology. The enhanced capabilities will bolster national security, particularly along the borders.
