Solar Defence and Aerospace Ltd. has completed the delivery of its NAGASTRA-2 anti-tank loitering munition system to the Indian Army, strengthening India’s indigenous precision-strike capabilities.
Developed by the Nagpur-based company, NAGASTRA-2 is designed to engage armoured targets and features a tandem shaped-charge warhead capable of penetrating up to 650 mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armour (RHA).
The system completed technical trials at the Mahajan Field Firing Range in August 2026. According to the report, the trials covered operational performance and compliance with Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM) requirements.
NAGASTRA-2 is equipped with day-and-night surveillance cameras and can remain airborne for up to 60 minutes, allowing operators to locate and assess targets before striking. It has a range of up to 25 km in recover-and-reuse mode and up to 50 km in fire-and-forget mode.
The system also incorporates electronic counter-countermeasures designed to address communication jamming, GPS jamming and spoofing threats, supporting operations in electronically contested environments.
The delivery builds on the Indian Army’s earlier procurement of approximately 450 NAGASTRA-1R loitering munitions from the company in 2025. The NAGASTRA family reflects India’s efforts to strengthen domestic defence manufacturing and develop indigenous surveillance and precision-strike systems.
