India to Procure More Heron MK II Drones
India is going to buy more Heron MK II drones.
These drones are made by a company called Israel Aerospace Industries.
All three parts of the Indian military—the Army, Navy, and Air Force—want to buy them.
This is because the drones did a good job in a recent operation called Operation Sindoor.
The company that makes the drones is happy because India has been their customer for a very long time, over 30 years.
The exact number of drones they will buy is not being shared right now.
