A mix of explosive material, including RDX and Nitrate, was used in the two IEDs dropped by drones
Days after drones dropped bombs at the Indian Air Force (IAF) station in Jammu, forensic experts have reportedly said a cocktail of explosive material, including RDX and Nitrate, was used in the two IEDs.
RDX is sourced from Pakistan. “One IED was aimed at infrastructural damage. The other at personnel with more splinters and ball-bearings,” the sources said.
A GPS drone, suspected to be a ‘Made in China’ product, was used in the attack in Jammu Air Force Station, sources added.

Last week, Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police Dilbag Singh said the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba terror outfit was suspected to have been behind the drone.
The case was later handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Security agencies in Jammu have already installed an anti-drone system at the Air Force station.
Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria said a detailed investigation into the attacks was underway.
“We have gone over the subject in terms of the implications of this kind of capabilities in the hands of non-state actors and the kind of effect the armed drone capabilities would have in future conflicts,” Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria said.
“What happened at Jammu was essentially a terrorist act. The attempt failed of course. The assets were not damaged. Two explosives were used,” he said.
