Private defence company tests rocket at Chandipur | India News
New Delhi: A Pune-based defense firm successfully conducted demonstration firing of Extra and Predator Hawk “Suryastra” rockets with ranges of 150 km and 300 km respectively at the Integrated Test Range at Surendra Singh, Chandipur, Odisha on May 18 and 19. Suryastra is India’s first indigenous universal multi-caliber rocket launcher system, designed for surface-to-surface deep strikes against hostile targets. It bridges the gap between traditional field artillery and heavy ballistic missiles, providing the armed forces with a flexible, quick-response and cost-effective precision weapon system. NSE-listed NIBE Ltd has bagged a purchase order from the Indian Army under emergency procurement for supply of Suryastra launchers and rockets.
