India using naval assets for land border surveillance

The Navy is deploying P-8I long-range patrol aircraft and heavy-duty Sea Guardian drones "as and when tasked" on the Army's request for intelligence-gathering missions along the northern borders, defence ministry sources told TOI. The US-origin P-8I aircraft and Sea Guardians supplement the ongoing use of satellites and the Israeli Heron unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
