During the ongoing joint training exercise, a kite named "Arjun" was shown in action preying on enemy drones.

During the exercise, the Indian Army devised a scenario in which the Indian Army utilised a kite and a dog to locate and destroy enemy drones. In this case, the dog informs the Indian Army after hearing the drone's sound. The kite, on the other hand, works to locate and circumcise the enemy's drone in the air.

In a first-of-its-kind application of these birds, Indian Army forces are employing trained kites to prey on enemy drones. The Indian Army is using trained Kiest in addition to dogs for military operations, news agency ANI reported citing Army sources. 

Such a capability could aid security forces in combating the threat of drones crossing the border into Indian territory in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.

Drones from Pakistan have been alleged to have dropped consignments of drugs, guns, and money in Jammu and Kashmir, and Punjab.

On November 24, Jammu and Kashmir Police retrieved a consignment of weapons and Indian currency dropped by a Pakistani drone in Jammu's Samba district.

During the exercise Yuddh Abhyas, Indian Army troops performed slithering operations from the Mi-17 helicopter.

During the joint exercise, the Indian Army also demonstrated soldiers' unarmed combat ability.

The 18th edition of the Indo-US joint training exercise "Yudh Abhyas 22" began on Saturday in Uttarakhand's Auli.

The Yudh Abhyas exercise will last 15 days and will focus on high altitude and severe cold climatic warfare.
