India — a country globally recognized for its rich culture, diversity, and innovation — is now carving out a distinct identity in the defense sector also. The SkyStriker drone, a loitering munition (also known as a kamikaze drone), manufactured in Bengaluru by Adani Defence and Aerospace, is a shining example of the Make in India initiative. The drone was used in ‘Operation Sindoor’ to carry out precise surgical strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. It showcased India’s growing military self-dependence and technological advancement.

Make in India is not just a slogan but a powerful strategy focussed at achieving India’s economic and security goals. In collaboration with Israel’s Elbit Systems, Adani Defence and Aerospace is making the SkyStriker drone at its Bengaluru unit. With a range of 100 kilometers and a 5–10 kg warhead, this drone meets the needs of modern warfare. During Operation Sindoor, targeted strikes were carried out on terrorist camps belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, showing the drone’s precision and India’s military capabilities.

Firms like Adani Defence are providing a platform for the country’s young engineers, scientists, and technicians to develop globally competitive tech. These efforts are also generating employment opportunities in the manufacturing sector and reducing India’s dependence on foreign tech. After the Balakot airstrike in 2019, the Indian Army placed an order for 120 SkyStriker drones in 2021, marking a significant step in promoting indigenous product under Make in India.

The great success of the SkyStriker drone shows India’s emergence as a global leader in the manufacturing of military equipment. With its lightweight design, precision targeting, and high efficiency at a very low cost, the drone is an ideal tool for modern warfare. Such innovations are strengthening India’s defense strategy and establishing Indian companies in global markets.

To recognize the achievements of indian companies like Adani Defence is to salute the talent, innovation, and patriotism of India’s youth. These companies are not only enhancing national security but also contributing to economic growth. To advance the spirit of Make in India, we must all support such companies so that India can become truly self-reliant and strengthen its position on the global stage.
