Notes: This Indian RPV was designed with a great deal of Israeli help, but manufactured entirely in India. It is a reconnaissance drone, with a complete set of sensors including equipment for electronic eavesdropping and includes a computer for the breaking of codes and encryption routines. It has several control methods, including manual, autonomous, and GPS.
Twilight 2000 Notes: These were heavily used in actions against Pakistan and China during the Twilight War, but their fragility meant that they were vulnerable to ground fire.
