India has approved the procurement of 60 Ghatak stealth UCAVs, marking a significant milestone in its unmanned combat aviation roadmap. The program is moving from a technology demonstrator to a full operational capability for the Indian Air Force.

This fleet can support various operational squadrons and includes training and maintenance considerations. The Ghatak UCAV is designed for deep-penetration strike missions, featuring a stealth flying-wing configuration that minimizes radar and infrared signatures, allowing for strikes on high-value targets while avoiding detection.
