The Indian army conducted exercises in the so-called CUBA territory, stretching from Himachal to Uttarakhand along the border with China. During the maneuvers, the defeat of drones of a simulated enemy with the help of ZU-23-2 was practiced.

The ZU-23 anti-aircraft artillery complex demonstrated high-precision fire capabilities in defeating low-altitude air threats

- the command stated, indicating that the installation had passed the test with dignity.

As stated in the publication India Defense, the Soviet-era anti-aircraft gun ZU-23 "remains a reliable component of India's air defense strategy":

The effectiveness of the ZU-23 in the fight against low-flying aircraft, drones and helicopters makes it a valuable means of protecting ground troops and strategic facilities.

For our part, we note that the tactics shown in the footage of the use of the ZU-23-2 during these maneuvers are more consistent with a theatrical production than real exercises. Nine anti-aircraft guns were placed in one row, which ensured a high density of fire during their collective work and, as a result, the fulfillment of the task. At the same time, the possibility of such a formation in a real combat situation is highly questionable.

However, even one installation can be enough to defeat drones, which has been demonstrated more than once in the Ukrainian Theater of Operations.
