New Delhi, November 22

The Indian Army has asked 180 canister-launched loitering ammunitions that can target enemy tanks. The force is also looking at specialised anti-drone systems. The request for proposal seeking supplies from vendors was issued today.

The Ministry of Defence wants the infantry and armoured units to have the capacity to undertake action at a 15-km range to destroy enemy’s armoured vehicles with a “heat warhead”. The ministry also intends to procure integrated drone detection and interdiction system.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
