Drones for smuggling weapons? Technology is being misused in scary ways. Our BSF and other agencies must also be upgrading their tech to counter such threats. A constant cat-and-mouse game.

Good interception. But 12 pistols is a small quantity for a drone run, no? Makes you wonder if this was a test for a larger operation. Security forces everywhere need to stay two steps ahead.

While I support strong security, we must also ask what conditions lead to such smuggling. Poverty and conflict create desperation. A purely military solution isn't always enough in the long term.

Their air control system identified it at night? Impressive tech. Hope our DRDO and forces are developing similar capabilities. Jai Hind to all our border guarding personnel.

Every country has the right to defend its borders. Simple as that. This news just reinforces the need for constant vigilance, whether it's the LoC or any other border.
