The Indian Army has decided to raise which specialised units for drone warfare?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Baaz Battalions. The Indian Army will raise Baaz Battalions as specialised units dedicated to drone warfare operations. Baaz Battalions will function under the Army Aviation Corps and operate long-range drones for surveillance and strike missions. The battalions will perform ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) to enhance battlefield awareness and operational response. Personnel in Baaz Battalions will receive specialised training in drone deployment, maintenance, data exploitation, and integration with ground forces. The new formations are separate from the existing Ashini drone platoons and Divyastra batteries of the Indian Army. The initiative is based on operational lessons from the India–China Line of Actual Control (LAC) standoffs, Operation Sindoor, and the Russia–Ukraine war. The project forms part of the Indian Army's Decade of Transformation, a modernisation framework for enhancing future combat capabilities. The Indian Army's drone inventory has expanded from a few hundred systems to over 50,000 by June 2026, reflecting rapid growth in unmanned warfare capabilities.
