Analysis of David Coleman headley and connection of terrorism was remarkable in today's discussion

[akshanshmoudgil]

Q.1
Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that are remotely controlled for multiple purposes. The emergence of drones have made remarkable impacts on modern warfare tactics & scenario:
>>UAVs have been uses for
1.Surveillance by armed forces
2.Intelligence gathering
3.Delivery of essential supplies like food medicines to forces during operations
e.g. Heron, Searcher UAVs of Israeli origin.

>> UCAVs can be used for attacking targets while not having to worry about risk to own troops as well as for delivery of payloads & missiles etc.
e.g. Predator, Reaper (USA)
Armed version of Rustam(under progress) by DRDO

>>Commercially available Drones:
Though built for various civilian functions like disaster management, afro-forest management, Police surveillance etc these are also being used by both state & non state actors for warfare purposes.
e.g.Swarm attacks -London's Gatwick airport incident(2018)
Russian base attacked in Syria (2018)
Attack on Saudi's ARAMCO oilfields(2019)
Smuggling of drugs & weapons to Punjab & Kashmir by Pakistan.


The entry of drones in military field have posed serious ethical & human rights issues.It has also increased the probability of casualties in war. There is a need for international consensus on the extent of using drones in warfare in to minimize the negative outcomes of the application of technology in warfare.

Hats off to your patience and determination to genuinely help the aspirants. Your lecture on the 26/11 was outstanding..

[pujasinha]

It was an amazing explanation.I saw a lot of YouTube channels but find byjus the best.
I was so stressed about newspaper bcoz I don't know how to read and I live in a small district of Bihar and here is no availability of English newspaper. I will continue watch your newspaper analysis.

[mahimsinha]

Although, the "Tahawwur's'" topic was not much of relevance, but your crisp and catchy explanation about the 'entire Headley & 26/11 matters' took us through a thriller story. Thanks Chetan Sir & Tean for today's DNA.

[Shahni]

Always the best..clear insights on critical issues like global terrorism, , heart felt thanks to the team!

[aryananand]

From the very beginning to half part was excellent which can be expected from BYJU

[sushilsingh]

I feel so good after seeing the analysis. It helps a lot in the preparation.

[Smiletims]

They should put byju's hindu analysis on "Netflix" and other platforms, it'd be a massive hit. There is no other analysis on YouTube that is this detailed and interesting. Me and my friends now discuss over the topics just like we have watched a good series.

A1) Drones are kind of unmanned aircraft where number of drones can be coordinated and synchronised to create swarm attack. Growing technology brought this technology transformations in warfare as well.

Other uses of drones:
So far Drones have been used in surveillance, intelligence monitoring, delivery, spraying of pesticides etc..

Lets see Examples of drones in warfare
1)In 2018, Swarm of drone attack in gatwick airport in london
2)In 2019, there has been attack in saudi Aramco
3)US has been using its preacher to have attack against syria, iran
4)Recently India shoot out a unauthorised drone near jammu and kashmir. It can be sent for spy purposes.

India too have its indigenously developed Rustom, Nishant UAV.

Reason for Move from Conventional to hybrid:
1) Low cost of attack in drone attack, whereas huge maintanance and training cost required for conventional
3)Low risk of life for people who is attacking, since it is piloted from remote location.
3)Easy available for state and non state actors
4)High precison attacks can be done.Bombs can be precisely targeted at correct location

Conclusion:
This way of digital attack will be more in te upcoming future. So India must upgrade our technology and keep an eye on the attack.
