Reuters, September 23. Lieutenant General Rakesh Sinha, Vice Chairman of the Integrated Defence Staff, stated that the Indian military plans to conduct drone and anti-drone system testing exercises in October, aiming to enhance air defense capabilities. It is reported that this will be the largest unmanned combat exercise within India since the India-Pakistan conflict, with plans to recreate some of the drone combat scenarios from the India-Pakistan conflict. Ashutosh Dixit, Chairman of the Integrated Defence Staff and Air Force Lieutenant General, stated that drones and anti-drone systems will also form the basis of the "Sudarshan Chakra" air defense system (a weapon of the Hindu god Vishnu). Previously, India announced a plan to build a "Sudarshan Chakra" domestic air defense system by 2035, which will also include aircraft, anti-hypersonic systems, and other equipment. Analysts said that after the India-Pakistan conflict, both countries have increased their efforts in developing drones, which has now evolved into a "drone arms race."
