Meet the hovercraft: India's new Coast Guard craft that can glide across water, mudflats and marshes
The acquisition of its first indigenous hovercraft marks a transformative leap in India's coastal security. Designed to operate on water, mud, and marshy areas, the Coast Guard's new asset will enhance surveillance and response initiatives in difficult-to-access regions such as the Rann of Kutch and Sundarbans. This development not only bolsters India's defense manufacturing capabilities but also fortifies its maritime security framework along the sprawling coastlines.
