Taiwan has shown interest in acquiring India's state-of-the-art D4 anti-drone system, developed by the Defence Research and Developed Organisation (DRDO) and manufactured by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).

The move comes in response to a surge in Chinese drone activity near Taiwan's borders and strategic facilities.



Taiwan's interest marks a significant step in strengthening defence ties with India amid growing regional tensions with China.

India's indigenously developed Drone Detect, Deter and Destroy (D4) anti-drone system gained global attention for its effectiveness in neutralizing Turkish-origin drones and loitering munitions during the India-Pakistan conflict, according to a statement by the Indian Defence Research Wing (IDRW).

The D4 system demonstrated its prowess in Operation Sindoor, where it successfully jammed and neutralized Pakistani drone swarms, including Turkish-supplied Bayraktar TB2 drones.

The system employs both “soft kill” methods (electronic jamming, GPS spoofing) and “hard kill” methods (laser-based directed energy weapons) to neutralise enemy drones.

A DRDO official confirmed that Taiwan's request reflects the D4 system's growing reputation as a battle-proven solution.

A successful deal with Taiwan could pave the way for deeper defence cooperation, potentially including joint development of advanced counter-drone technologies. Furthermore, with China's aggressive posturing in the Indo-Pacific, India's strategic outreach to Taiwan could serve as a critical counterweight, reshaping regional security dynamics.
