Warfare has evolved, and India is stepping into a new era of battlefield dominance, driven by drones. Whether it's surgical strikes, intelligence gathering, or battlefield surveillance, drones are now an integral part of modern defense strategies.
At the forefront of this shift is insideFPV, proudly building high-performance kamikaze drones made in India, for India. In this guide, we compare our combat-ready 7-inch, 10-inch, and 15-inch FPV drones to help you understand which one fits which mission.
The Role of Drones in India's Defense Landscape
India’s borders span mountains, deserts, forests, and rivers. Defending such diverse terrain is no easy feat. Traditional systems can only go so far, which is why tactical drones are gaining traction.
Kamikaze drones, or loitering munitions, are designed to strike targets with pinpoint accuracy and minimal collateral damage. Unlike traditional UAVs, these drones are meant to crash into their targets while delivering payloads. They’re fast, agile, cost-effective, and highly efficient for modern conflict zones.
As global tensions increase, India is investing heavily in indigenous drone technology—and insideFPV is helping lead the charge.

insideFPV vs Other Defence Drones in India
While there are several Indian drone platforms in development, including those from DRDO and HAL, insideFPV’s kamikaze drones offer immediate, practical solutions ready for real-time deployment.
DRDO’s Nagastra-1
Loitering munition that returns safely if no target is identified.
HAL CATS Warrior
An AI-powered loyal wingman drone still under development.
Rustom-II
Large UAV for surveillance but lacks real-time strike capability.
Nishant and Abhyas
Primarily used for surveillance and target simulation, not kamikaze operations.
Compared to these, insideFPV drones are ready-to-deploy, modular, affordable, and tailored for Indian tactical needs.
