The Jammu attack sets that example for the case study. The security establishment needs to be reminded that new modes of sabotage by technology reduce costs and risk identification for terrorists. Ideally, the Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, should have instantly called a unified command meeting to fix modalities for the security beef up, expected to be uniform for entire militancy-infested Union Territory and not pigeon-holed into districts. Such a district-wise reaction to a threat to national security suggests that the government didnвЂ™t have a unified strategy in place. Jammu district has made Civil Secretariat and the Raj Bhawan no-fly zones. While the frontier district of Rajauri was first to impose the ban, a week later, the summer capital of Srinagar seconded the suit, to be followed by few others. These included a ban on the use, sale and possession of drones or similar low flying objects. After the incident, a few districts in J&K individually came up with new directives. The governmentвЂ™s initial response to the recent drone attack, however, looks a bit chaotic. If Jammu has been the first target, cant Pathankot in Punjab or even Mumbai be the next? After all, if the attackers of the 26/11 terror strikes reached the financial capital, canвЂ™t drones be the next possible medium? The drone terror is a serious threat that you donвЂ™t necessarily need to be a security expert to press the panic button. No one, however, knows assuredly how many other such droppings may have taken place or where. These are the incidents where security forces recovered the payload. A third weapons drop, involving three Kalashnikovs, two pistols, three grenades and ammunition was made at Guardian, near frontier Rajouri, in the same month. Then, in September same year, a drone delivered an M4, a Kalashnikov assault rifle, six pistols and ammunition, to a location near Samba, some 11 kilometres from the same border. In June 2020, a drone carrying an M4 carbine and ammunition crashed at Maniari in Kathua, some 250 metres from the border. In J&K, drone infiltration is even more frequent. In December 2020, Punjab Police seized 11 hand grenades-believed to have been airdropped by a drone-from a sugarcane field near the international border in the Gurdaspur district of the once militancy infested state. Apart from J&K, neighbouring Punjab has also been the target. In roughly the past two years, numerous such incidents have been reported from North India. Forensic analysis suggests that the explosive used in the attack was RDX, packed into what is known as shaped charges, which direct explosive energy so it can penetrate armour or concrete.Дrone sighting along the borders or using these flying machines for arms droppings is not new in the country. NIA reports reveal that the investigators suspect that the drones took a 180-degree turn after hitting the target. What makes the possible role of neighbouring country Pakistan even intriguing is that the aerial distance between the international border and the Jammu airport is only 14 kilometres. The drones are believed to have brought along the IED payload of around fifteen kilograms each, dropped deep inside the winter capital of J&K. Two IAF personnel received minor injuries in the incident. Believed to be the first such drone strike on the Indian soil, the first attack came on the fortified-security-establishment of the Indian Air Force.ДЄs per the preliminary probe by the National Investigation Agency, reportedly two low-flying drones, remote-controlled from across the border, were used to drop the two improvised explosive devices (IED) that exploded in the fortified area in the City of Temples. The drone terror has taken India by surprise. In 2018, when Syrian rebels used homemade drones to attack Russian military bases in Syria, one couldnвЂ™t have imagined that India would face a similar situation barely two years later. On June 27, two low-flying drones attacked the high-security technical area of the Indian Air Force (IAF) Station in Jammu and Kashmir, setting the alarm bells ringing. India faces a new terror threat-more severe than before- in the form of drone attacks.
