Harpy Drones Wreak Havoc! Hit Pakistani Air Defence Systems


Indian armed forces used Harpy drones to attack enemy air defence systems in Pakistan on Thursday morning. These drones, especially designed to hit radar systems, are optimised for the suppression of enemy Air Defenses role. It carries a high-explosive warhead. Equipped with an Anti-Radiation (AR) seeker, HARPY can autonomously seek and strike emitting, high-value targets. The HARPY operates in deep strike missions lasting up to 9 hours, day and night, in all weather conditions, and in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-denied or contested battlefields.

About Harpy Drones

HARPY is equipped to hunt–seek targets in a designated area, locate and identify their frequency, and autonomously pursue a strike from any direction, at shallow or steep dive profiles. After India executed Operation Sindoor, in which nine terror sites deep inside Pakistan were destroyed, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets on the night of May 7.
