India's Central Reserve Police Force, or CRPF, plans to buy kamikaze drones for counter-insurgency operations. A document sent to suppliers on Monday asks them to say by 25 November what products they can offer.
The document says each drone must carry two high-explosive warheads of at least 1.5 kg. It must have a range of at least 15 km and fly for at least 30 minutes while carrying the load.
The drones are meant for one-way missions against chosen targets, with a killing radius of 10 metres, according to the document.
