In an age of high geopolitical tension, conflicts breaking out and also sustaining itself, India does not want to be left behind. Thus drones, loitering munitions and surveillance equipments are the ones that the country is focusing on developing in large numbers but also in varieties.
In the latest such development, the loitering munition, Nagastra 1, that was developed indigenously by Economic Explosives Limited, was live demonstrated at the Infantry Commanders’ Conference.
