India Taps Global Satellite Firms to Boost Military Surveillance
In a move to strengthen real-time surveillance and military preparedness, the Indian government initiated talks with global commercial satellite imagery providers. This follows intelligence reports that China supported Pakistan with live satellite inputs during Operation Sindoor in 2025. The aim is to enhance India's existing capabilities by integrating high-resolution, real-time imagery into defence operations.
