Agartala, August 22:Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, Director General of Police (DGP) Anurag Dhankar, and a large number of school students on Friday witnessed an impressive demonstration of drone and anti-drone technology at the Assam Rifles ground in Agartala.
The exercise, jointly organized by the Assam Rifles and the Indian Army, aimed to showcase the forces’ preparedness, particularly in view of the evolving situation in neighboring Bangladesh, which shares an 856-km-long border with Tripura on three sides.
Speaking to reporters after the event, CM Dr. Saha expressed confidence in the armed forces and praised the use of indigenously developed drone technologies.
“The demonstration has strengthened our belief in the nation’s defense capabilities. Operation Sindoor has already shown the world how secure India is. In just 24 to 25 minutes, 11 terrorist camps were destroyed. The same technology, now introduced in Tripura, boosts our confidence further because future wars will be technology-driven, and we must remain technologically secure,” he said.
Alongside drone operations, the forces also showcased anti-drone systems designed to neutralize enemy drones—an emerging necessity in modern warfare.
CM Saha said the successful demonstration has proven Tripura’s preparedness and further enhanced public confidence.
Students who attended the event expressed their excitement, noting that the live demonstrations not only strengthened their trust in the armed forces but also inspired them to consider serving the nation in the future.
Army officials also briefed the Chief Minister on the operational details of the drones and anti-drone systems during the event, which included a live demonstration of drone attacks and countermeasures.
