This Drone can save us millions in purchasing , logistics , maintaining and deploying runaway dependent Recon Aircraft and Flight personal.
I can see it deployed along our long porous Borders , Coastlines and National Parks for real time surveillance , Interdiction and even Intelligence gathering.
The Indian Army has already purchased and put the Drone into Service .
