This information was shared during a press briefing, in which the government said that preliminary forensic analysis of debris recovered from downed drones suggested they were Turkish made.

Theog MLA, said “When Türkiye was hit by a devastating earthquake in 2023, India started Operation Dost to become the first country to help. India had sent Garuda Aerospace drones to help those trapped in the rubble and modified Kisan drones to carry medicine and food.”
