India plans a comprehensive anti-drone unit to secure borders, following successful drone neutralizations.

India's Home Minister Amit Shah announced plans to create a comprehensive anti-drone unit to secure the country's borders, especially from Pakistan. The initiative follows the success of a laser-equipped anti-drone system, which boosted the neutralization of drones from 3% to 55% along the Punjab border. Over 260 drones have been downed or recovered this year compared to about 110 in 2023. The unit will involve collaboration between various government and defense organizations as part of a "whole-of-government" approach.
