On the occasion of Independence day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed nation from the Red Fort in Delhi. As a protection for Narendra Modi, Indian Government installed laser weapons at different places. These weapons can identify drones in a 3 km radius and will defend against their attacks.
It is known that few neighboring countries started using drones to attack Indian bases and politicians. To counter these attacks, DRDO came up with a laser weapon system and it has been thoroughly tested. Most of the drone attacks happened in North India and Indian Government decided to use these laser weapons in most of the high priority meetings.
It is great to display these next generation weapons to the public along with stationing them as protection to the Prime Minister. In the past few months, Indian Government has invested lot of money on the defense systems and several organizations inside India are working immensely to improve the warfare infrastructure for the nation.
