Nagastra-1
The Indian Army has urgently purchased about 480 suicide drones. Now he is officially joining the army. Dubbed “Nagastra-1”, it can destroy enemy bunkers, outposts, and weapons depots. With the emergence of a special type of drone, the strength of the Indian Army will increase exponentially. This was no less than a Sanskrit battle for the Indian Army.
Nagastra-1 was tested by the Army last year. The test was conducted in the Nubra Valley of Ladakh, close to the Chinese border. With the emergence of suicide drones, they may also be used in the future to carry out surgical strikes in place of fighter jets. These drones are very capable in their own right and can covertly enter enemy houses and carry out attacks. Currently, there are two types of suicide drones. Both can fly for 60 to 90 minutes.
It will be easy to destroy the enemy
A Nagpur-based company has handed over indigenous loitering ammunition, namely Nagastra-1, to the Army. In this way, it becomes much easier for the army to destroy the enemy without causing any losses to itself. It can easily annihilate enemy forces even in rugged areas in countries such as Pakistan and China. Nagpur Solar Industries has prepared the drone.

The Indian Army has awarded the contract for around 480 Nagastra units to Solar Industries Economics Explosives Limited (EEL) under emergency procurement authority. The drone is manufactured in collaboration with Economics Explosives Limited, a subsidiary of Solar Industries Nagpur. The drone was inspected before being handed over to the army. The company has since turned over the loitering ammunition to the Army ammunition depot. The mission of these suicide drones is to meet the needs of border surveillance between Pakistan and China. Not only that, they were handed over to the Indian Army within a year of receiving the order.
