What Are FPV Striker Drones?

FPV (First-Person View) Striker Drones are kamikaze-style unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) designed for precision strikes in hostile environments. Unlike traditional drones built mainly for surveillance, FPV Strikers are lightweight, agile, and equipped with explosive payloads that can neutralize enemy assets with pinpoint accuracy.

By streaming live video directly to the operator’s goggles, these drones allow real-time battlefield control, making them one of the most effective tools in modern asymmetric warfare.

Why They Matter in Modern Battlefield Operations

The evolution of warfare is no longer just about firepower — it’s about speed, intelligence, and adaptability. FPV Striker drones provide exactly that:

• Precision Strikes: Neutralize enemy tanks, bunkers, and artillery with minimal collateral damage.
• Low Cost, High Impact: A fraction of the cost of traditional missiles or fighter jets, yet equally effective in tactical missions.
• Difficult to Detect: Small size and high maneuverability make them hard for enemy radars and counter-systems to intercept.
• Real-Time Control: FPV technology ensures split-second decisions on the battlefield.

For Bharat, this technology provides a strategic edge against evolving threats, from cross-border insurgencies to high-intensity conflicts.

Indigenous FPV Drones vs Imported Alternatives

India’s defence sector has historically relied on imports for UAVs. However, indigenous FPV Striker drones developed by companies like IG Drones ensure:

• Complete Atmanirbhar Bharat Alignment – reducing reliance on foreign defence technology.
• Customization for Indian Armed Forces – tailored to local terrains, climates, and mission requirements.
• Rapid Deployment – IG Drones can deploy systems within 48 hours across India.
• Cost-Effective Manufacturing – scalable production at a fraction of international pricing.

By building drones in Bharat, for Bharat, IG Drones strengthens both sovereignty and self-reliance.
