The Nagastra-1 drones, developed by Solar Industries in Nagpur, are a significant addition to the Indian Army’s arsenal. These advanced, person-carried suicide drones offer precise targeting with a 2-meter accuracy and a 1 kg high-explosive charge. They feature innovative technology, including mission abort capability, day and night monitoring, and a low-noise electric motor for stealth operations. With over 75% indigenous parts, they reduce reliance on foreign technology, support local businesses, and offer cost savings. The parachute recovery system adds tactical and logistical advantages.
