Bangalore, January 29: Unmanned aerial vehicle Nishant today created a flutter when it landed at a location other than its designated landing place at the testing range of Defence Research and Development Organisation near Kolar in Karnataka.
The landing was mistaken for an accident by locals who saw the machine coming down, DRDO sources said.
DRDO personnel switched off the engine and enabled it to land softly with the help of on-board parachute, in a area filled with sand. It was landed at a different place “deliberately”, a DRDO official said.
