Russia's Kalashnikov Concern will supply civilian Karakurt quadcopters to India, the company's press service told TASS.

“Kalashnikov has signed a contract with an Indian partner for the supply of civilian Karakurt-type multirotor UAVs. Under the agreement, signed during the 10th India Homeland Security Expo, the concern will deliver a batch of Karakurt UAVs to the customer by the end of 2026,” the statement said.

The company also noted that negotiations are underway on establishing licensed production of the Karakurt in India for subsequent use by the end customer.
