Indian Army to buy 12 more Made-in-India 'Swathi' weapon-locating radars for China border
New Delhi, May 12: In a major boost for the Indian Army on the China front, the force has put up a proposal to the Defence Ministry for buying 12 Swathi weapon-locating radars developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The radars can simultaneously detect multiple projectiles fired from different weapons at different locations. The Indian Army has been using the radars for its operations along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. The system was given for trial in the Army in 2018.
New Indian Army chief General Manoj Pande is a major supporter of indigenisation and orders for many types of equipment like self-propelled artillery guns are likely to go to Indian vendors only. A major push is also expected in small arms also as the planned orders for foreign assault rifles are now going to be given to Indian vendors who have made significant developments in this field.
