The Russian Satellite News Agency reported that the Indian Air Force is testing the latest drones in the western Indian state of Rajasthan, which will, however, in the process of emergency deployment to withstand natural disasters, 3 of the 3 drones tested that day crashed, 2 of which have not yet been found, and only 1 wreckage has been found.

Now, locusts are raging in northern India. Experts in India believe that locust plagues will reduce food production by 30-50%. It is reported that 400 billion locusts have struck the Indian state of Rajasthan, destroying crops and threatening to spread to other states. By June, locusts will expand 600-fold, or 300 trillion locusts.

A female locust can lay 300 eggs and grow for only 2 months. Cotton cultivation in India usually begins in early June, is usually around 35% complete by early July, and 90% completed by early August. In June and July, the next generation of locusts grows into adults, posing a major threat to local cotton production.

Now, in this case, India can only seek peace from its mortal enemy, because the most important thing for India now is to destroy locusts. It is impossible to believe that a farmer family can withstand 400 billion locusts today and 300 trillion locusts in the future.

Therefore, the Indian Army will be the main force in defending and eradicating locusts. Although India is a big chicken farmer, it is difficult to use chickens to eliminate locusts. India's fast-growing poultry industry and overuse of antibiotics have had "alarming" consequences. That is to say, many chicken farms in India have the virus in chickens. The study found that 4% of chicken sold in stores in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata contained salmonella. These chicks are not suitable for being completely released to eat grasshoppers.

The Indian Army Air Force and the Indian Air Force will be the main force in eradicating locusts, while the Indian Army and Police Force will devote a lot of energy to policing. A 30-50% reduction in grain production in northern India will lead to more frequent guerrilla attacks in places like Kashmir, and more people will join the guerrillas.

India is now unable to concentrate its main forces against Pakistan. India itself is a major user of pesticides. In 2017, India spent $2.5 billion on pesticides. The main raw drugs produced in India are: cis, acetylmethrin, chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, dicar, endosulfan, dimethalin, propylphos, daisenzinc, isopropion, glyphosate, monocrotophos........

Eighty percent of India's population is farmer, who cultivates 143 million hectares of land, or about 12 billion acres of farmland. In addition to pesticide aircraft, India has 397 trainer aircraft, 74 Mi-8 helicopters, 37 Mi-17 helicopters and 24 trainer helicopters that can be used for pesticide spraying operations.
