Close to three years of painstaking efforts and training have fructified for the Telangana Police after the eagles they had trained successfully pulled down drones in a demonstration held before top police officials recently.
Three eagles trained by two professionals were used for the first time by any police force across the country in the demonstration witnessed by Director General of Police Ravi Gupta along with senior IPS officers in the Integrated Intelligence Training Academy (IITA) at Moinabad on Hyderabad outskirts.
The occasion was 23rd batch of canines passing out parade at the IITA where the IPS officers complimented the trainers and IITA officials. A video of the demonstration shows an eagle sitting on a shed suddenly taking to skies and flying towards an object. In a split second, it grabs the object and flies back. The object is none other than a drone and the task was accomplished with precision.
