Question

• A. ISRO
• B. Indian Navy
• C. DRDO
• D. US Navy

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) developed and provided the "Bharat" drones to the Indian Army.
These drones are specifically designed for high-altitude operations in mountainous terrains like Eastern Ladakh, where conditions are extremely challenging.
They enable accurate surveillance and reconnaissance along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), enhancing the Army’s ability to monitor and respond to threats.
Option (A), ISRO, focuses on space research and satellite launches, not tactical battlefield drones.
Option (B), Indian Navy, operates in maritime defence and is not associated with providing such drones.
Option (D), US Navy, is an American military branch with no direct role in Indian Army equipment procurement.
Given the strategic defence technology expertise of DRDO, they are the correct provider of the "Bharat" drones.
