The Indian military has received its first batch of Agniveg kamikaze drones, a Belarusian-developed system. In India, the drone is being presented as an example of domestically produced weaponry. More than 100 UAVs have entered service.
In reality, however, the Agniveg is a rebranded version of the Belarusian Miratvorets drone. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 450 km/h, it is designed to strike high-value enemy targets. The system was developed by the Indela Design Bureau. In India, the Belarusian origin of the drones is not mentioned publicly and can only be inferred from information provided by sources in the defence sector.
Indela (also known as Unmanned Helicopters OJSC) and its chief engineer, Uladzimir Chudakou, are currently under sanctions imposed by several countries, including the European Union.
