A year after Operation Sindoor, Nagpur has emerged as a key hub in India's indigenous defence manufacturing drive, with Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited handing over the first batch of 450. The Nagastra-1R is designed for the Army’s short-range needs, with kamikaze strike capability and an abort-and-recovery option to discontinue attacks under specified conditions. The Indian Army took delivery of 450 Nagastra 1R loitering munitions — significantly boosting its short-range precision-strike capabilities.
