No clarity on whether it was shot down intentionally or accidentally.Some reports suggest that it was purposely brought down to prevent Ukrainians getting their hands on the drone.
Indian firm AeroArc, which is supplying these drones, has already delivered 100 robotic mules to Army. Drones are 'Indianised' in Coimbatore facility to suit specific requirements.
Indian PM met with Ukrainian President on Kyiv's request. Several issues discussed including peace proposals for early resolution to Russia-Ukraine war. Third meeting in 3 months.
Ukraine’s presidential adviser Vladyslav Vlasiuk said important parts used in surveillance, drones, missiles have also originated from the US, the Netherlands, Japan, Switzerland.
The Kremlin has raised the issue on at least two occasions, including during a July meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Indian counterpart.
Use of the missiles has been restricted to occupied territory. But if UK & US lift restrictions, Ukraine will be able to hit targets inside Russia, raising fears of an escalation.
The agreement follows what Kyiv said Tuesday were 'difficult' talks and is subject to approval by the fund's executive board, which the IMF said is expected to happen in coming weeks.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
