The Drishti 10 Starliner drone, an Adani-built defence UAV, crashed off the coast of Porbandar, Gujarat, while undergoing acceptance trials for the Indian Navy. The drone, assembled in India under a license from Israel's Elbit Systems, is a variant of the Israeli Hermes 900 and was set for delivery to the Navy after meeting performance benchmarks. It had already been inducted into the Navy, with both the Army and Navy placing orders to enhance their surveillance capabilities. The drone, costing ₹145 crore each, is designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions and boasts impressive specifications, including 36-hour endurance and a payload capacity of 450 kg. The drone was operated by the manufacturer during the trial and has since been recovered.
