IAF wants surveillance UAVs that can fly in stratosphere
Friday, 2 May 2025 () Amidst ongoing border tensions, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is seeking to bolster its surveillance capabilities by acquiring three High-Altitude Platform System (HAPS) aircraft. These unmanned 'pseudo-satellites' will operate in the stratosphere, providing persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). The IAF has issued a request for information, aiming for delivery within 18 months.
In a groundbreaking display of operational preparedness, the Indian Air Force (IAF) staged an awe-inspiring airshow on the under-construction Ganga Expressway in Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur district. For the first time in India, the IAF executed both daytime and nighttime operations, showcasing the Ganga Expressway as a viable emergency landing facility. Fighter jets, including the Rafale, Sukhoi Su-30MKI, MiG-29, and Mirage 2000, performed high-speed flypasts and low-level maneuvers, highlighting India’s growing defense capabilities

With fighter jets roaring down the civilian corridor, the operation showcases India's readiness to adapt infrastructure for combat use. The event highlights both tactical foresight and the dual-use potential of India’s expressway network amid rising global military tensions and preparedness drills across key regions.
