India develops P1 drone to monitor Chinese border movements

[dropithard]

To monitor Chinese maneuvers in its border regions, India has recently designed its first low-altitude long-endurance drone, writes Ankit Panda, associate editor of the Tokyo-based Diplomat in a piece published on Oct. 2.

Panda said the drone, known as the P1, is expected to have a flight time of over 10 hours at a maximum altitude of 5,000 feet with an operating radius of 150 kilometers. It has been designed to help the Indian military monitor its borders against potential Pakistani and Chinese incursions. In addition to its military applications, the drone can be used for applications such as pollution monitoring and crowd control.

India has become a crucial partner of the United States in its Asia Pivot policy. In his article titled "The Pivot to India" written for Foreign Policy, Senator John McCain said the India-US strategic partnership is critical to encourage China to rise peacefully rather than try to change the status quo unilaterally and with coercion.

already posted Eye in the sky: Army eyeing IIT-made UAV for border patrolling
But no one has officially stated that this particular UAV will be deployed along the Chinese border, its just a figment of the authors imagination. Try to add some masala.

Classic statement...thumbs up for this

A status quo the creation of which had nothing to do with India。

A status quo in which India plays no role whatsoever。

A status quo in which India is told obeying the order created and enforced by the West

Indian media trying to spice up things. You have been frequenting PDF for awhile now, you should have got by now how Indian media houses bring up their ratings. Just take it with a fistful of salt.

Are you paranoid of JAPAN?

Of course not。

Japan is absolutely free to do what it is in its national interest。

Same for China，or any other country for that matter。

Just do it，don't waste time on talking。

Do more，talk less。

kya baat hai IIT kanpur ki itni aukat ho gayi ki ab saale Drone banayege
phir to ye koi chota mota Drone hoga

Actually IIT-K have been working for MoD and ISRO for a long time. And their portfolio is impressive from design and developing NanoSats for ISRO to turbine blade research for MoD. Some of these projects are way for complicated then this drone.
Building this drone could have been a piece of cake for them.
