-one of hundreds Pakistan fired at Indian military installations and civilian settlements in May, during Operation Sindoor – that was deconstructed and put on display at Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi’s Delhi home.
The display, which included other Indian Army’s memorabilia, was to mark Vijay Diwas.
Starting May 8, 24 hours after India destroyed terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pak-occupied Kashmir as retaliation for the Pahalgam attack, Pak responded with a barrage of hundreds of armed drones targeting 36 towns or cities across Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Punjab.
One of those drones was a YIHA-III, a type of ‘kamikaze’ or ‘suicide drone’ developed jointly by Turkey and Pakistan, and used extensively by the latter during Operation Sindoor
These are called ‘kamikaze’ because they are weapon systems that can hover over, or circle a designated area, searching for a suitable target before launching its suicide attack. However, almost all the drones were shot down by India and the Indian armed forces’ nearly-impenetrable multi-layered, missile defence system.
