Should India prioritize investment in AI-powered swarm drone technology for future defense strategies, as highlighted by Operation Sindoor?

The success of Operation Sindoor has reignited interest in cutting-edge military technologies, particularly AI-powered swarm drones. These drones, capable of autonomous decision-making and coordinated action, are being seen as the future of warfare. With growing threats on multiple fronts, many defense analysts argue that India must now seriously invest in this technology to stay ahead. Swarm drones offer speed, precision, and the ability to overwhelm traditional defenses—qualities that were evident in the recent counter-terror operations.
 
However, there are also concerns: is India ready for such a high-tech leap, and what about the cybersecurity and ethical implications of AI in warfare? While the potential is massive, so are the responsibilities. We’re asking you, the citizens of India—do you believe AI-powered swarm drones should be a top priority for the government’s defense budget? Cast your vote to share your opinion on this crucial and timely question.
