Look at these Indian UAVs. They are pretty different from Pakistani UAVs, but i am not sure if all of them are indegious, but i think this "nishant" UAV is indegious. I have even seen a UAV called "Lakshya" many times in google search engine.

Seeing by the looks i must say that they are not your normal kind of UAV&#39;s.Either india has people with a really wild imaganition or they just wanted to make fun of them selves.

Nishant and Lakshya is indigeneous and have been inducted &#33;&#33;&#33; :yeah:

Others in your image are prototype/testing UAVs of DrDO and HAL &#33;&#33; AeroNautics is an Israeli company whose UAVs were in demonstration in DEFEXPO &#33;&#33;

Nishant is a day/night capable UAV with pan cameras , thermal imagery and possibly some radar imagery also &#33;&#33; :youknowme:

Lakshya is a target drone for IAF and anti aircraft/missile crews of army,navy &#33;&#33;

Lakshya doesn&#39;t look to be heavy to carry sidewinders or R series.

Maybe, but no Indian made UAV has been shot so far &#33;&#33; Previously one Israeli UAV was shot down &#33;&#33;&#33; :Ledsen_Gubbe:
Those noisy ones must be some some prototype uavs or some which intentionally make noise to check the readiness of Pakistani soldiers .

Lakshya is a target drone , not a UCAV &#33;&#33; :blush:
However there were reports that Lakshya might be converted to a short range high presicion cruise missile or a kamikaze UAV &#33;&#33;

I said they are not UCAVS &#33;&#33; They can&#39;t carry weapons &#33;&#33; Lakshya is for target practice and Nishant for survillance &#33;&#33;

I donno if there is any UCAV under research &#33;&#33; Also Lakshya can be converted into a cruise missile .

I&#39;ll later post abt Israeli UAVs in Indian inventory &#33;&#33;&#33;

Actually they are expendable target rockets &#33;&#33;&#33; :laughing:

Lakshya releases them at certain height and trainee pilots practice their firing on them &#33;&#33;&#33;

In 1996, an agreement between Israel and India saw the procurement of nearly 32 UAVs of the Searcher-II Variant manufactured by IAI-Malat. These were inducted into the Indian Army as well as the Indian Air Force. Subsequently some IAI Herons
