Tekanpur (Madhya Pradesh), Sept 25: In response to changing threats along India’s borders after Operation Sindoor, the Border Security Force (BSF) has established the country’s first dedicated drone warfare school at its training academy in Madhya Pradesh’s Tekanpur to build offensive and defensive unmanned aerial capabilities.

Established last month, the inaugural batch, comprising 40 officers, underwent a week-long “drone orientation” course that included Commandant and Second-in-Command level officials drawn from all BSF frontiers and Subsidiary Training Centres (STCs). At present, a second group of 47 personnel is enrolled in the intensive six-week “drone commando course”, which includes trainees from the ranks of Subordinate Officers, Assistant Sub-Inspectors, and Constables.
