Описание: Drones That Destroyed Russian Tanks Are Coming to India | Republic Defence

India is all set to acquire V-BAT drones, the same combat-proven UAVs that Ukraine used effectively against Russian armoured units. Built by Shield AI in partnership with Northrop Grumman, the V-BAT is a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) drone—meaning it can launch from tight spaces without a runway, making it ideal for India's varied terrain.

What makes the V-BAT special is its combat record. In Ukraine, these drones were used for real-time surveillance, precision strikes, and target tracking, especially against Russian tank formations. With a flight time of over 11 hours, quiet operation, and the ability to loiter unnoticed, they’ve earned the nickname “tank hunters” on the battlefield.

India’s interest in V-BAT is part of a broader push to upgrade its unmanned warfare capabilities. The drone’s modular payload system and AI-driven navigation make it versatile for both border patrol and strike operations.

This move is not just tactical but also strategic—showing India’s intent to shift toward next-gen battlefield technology. As tensions remain high across various borders, the arrival of V-BAT drones could change the game for Indian forces in the field.
