The Indian Army has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for mock-ups of T-90 S/SK main battle tanks as part of its Make in India initiative to enhance defense against drone threats. These decoys will replicate the tanks’ acoustic, thermal, and dimensional signatures to mislead enemy sensors and protect actual assets. The specifications mandate realistic replication, including external features and durability across varied terrains. This proactive approach reflects the Army’s commitment to adapt to evolving battlefield dynamics, ensuring increased survivability of armored units in contested environments, and reinforces the significance of domestic production capabilities in strengthening national defense.
