An Indian Army UAV that has been under development for two decades has been canceled.
The Nishant UAV project, which began life in 1995 under India's Defense Research and Development Organization, was terminated after several crashes, according to India's Economic Times.
"While four of the UAVs were inducted in 2011 after a long delay, at least three are confirmed to have crashed," the Economic Times said.
"A blame game is on between the DRDO and the Army over the three crashes. In the past DRDO has blamed poor handling by the army for the loss of at least two systems. However, the army has contended that the system has failed to perform and has technical problems during the recovery phase that have not been sorted out."
