BSF plans using drone on Indo-Bangla border

[eastwatch]

Drone spying by this poor India should not go unchallenged. However, it is good to see how the crony AL is getting slapping from its mentor.

we are just flying some kites... poor journalism of indian media..

We should just say that the aircraft would be treated as spy planes..... thats it....

Actually we do not have drones, so Bharat is just showing off us that "look what we have ".

Otherwise, is it really necessary to use drone for a few illegal migrants??

Or, they must have any other thing in their mind. Who knows? We should also buy drones.

There should be no problem as long as its unarmed.
BTW,can't india just fence the border?

 

[Ideas_R_Bulletproof]

I think we should also deploy some drones to watch over those phensidyl factories in the border areas. I'm sure that India wouldn't mind a deployment of "unarmed" drones on their border by their neighbours on a peaceful purpose.

We have fenced the border . But still that is not solving the illegal migration .

Please deploy as many as you want .

If you don't have any then buy a few from us.

BD can solve the UAV issue of its own - just put some air balloons with SAR equipment that can see into Indian territory. There is nothing wrong with having UAVs (unarmed) patrolling the borders. Its just an extension of border security. If BD was more technologically advanced, it would use more technology to replace humans from harms way. Also, (please correct me if wrong), I believe the terrain with jungles and hills is more likely to be un - friendly for ground troops for general patrolling purposes.

some very nice suggestions.... I also think we should have some of our own.... if not, balloons should be okay....

The UAVs would be flying at an altitude of 10,000-12,000 feet to capture images and relay real-time information on the movement of illegal migrants , if any, anywhere near the border, the reports added

Don't mind if I go a bit technical to find out the horizon in BD that Indian drones will observe.

Equation: D = square root of (h^2 + 2*R*h)

Here,

D= Horizon both in India and BD = ?
h = Height of the Drone from the Earth surface = 10,000 -12,000 feet = 3048 - 3657.6 meters
R = Average Radius of the Earth = 6365 kilometer = 6365000 meters
1 meter = 0.001 kilometers
1 feet = 0.3048 meters

So,

D = square root of (h^2 + 2*R*h)
D = square root of (3657.6^2 + 2*6365000*3657.6)
D = square root of (13378037.76 + 46561248000)
D = square root of (46574626037.76)
D = 215811.55 meters
D = 215.81 Kilometer

Now, if a Drone hoveras just 12,000 feet above the border, then they will observe D * 0.5 = 215.81 * 0.5 = 107.90 Km inside BD territory with zooming facility.

I am very interested, but dont know about BAL.

Stop crying. WE just want to watch over illegal immigrants It is our right.

If we cross international border shoot down that drone. YOu have fighter jets for this. It is your right.

Just stop being sissy and crying over it.

Interesting, Shouldnt then Bangladesh army operate them to know where THEY should be?

Wouldnt static observation balloons with high resolution cameras be a more cost effective option? experts @Abingdonboy @Skull and Bones @Dillinger @sandy_3126
