Indian Army Activates Shaurya Squadrons: Drones Integrate with Tank Regiments

• Indian Army activates Shaurya Squadrons to integrate drones directly into tank regiments for real-time surveillance and precision-strike capabilities.
• The first squadron, raised by the White Tiger Division, was tested during Exercise Amogh Jwala at Babina Field Firing Ranges.
• Each Shaurya Squadron comprises 20-30 personnel operating a mix of surveillance, attack, swarm, FPV, and loitering munitions drones.
• These squadrons provide tactical support, including precision strikes, combat support (mine-laying, medical transport), and electronic warfare.
• Five Army commands have already deployed Shaurya Squadrons, with plans for rapid expansion to all 63 armored regiments.
