The Indian Army today took delivery of Nagastra-1 loitering munition. A loitering munition is part UAV and part missile and is also known as a Kamikaze or suicide drone. Once launched, it flies or loiters over an area, like an eagle hunting for its prey. It flies silently like a raptor, its electric motors making it virtually undetectable. It can be controlled by an operator from as far as 15 km, and once it spot a target, like lightning, it comes crashing down to fall on its prey. Its 1 kg warhead makes quick work of its target. The lightweight 9 kg drone can take out a target as far as 30 km away once it is fed with the coordinates of its target. The drone is most useful against fleeting targets due to its less reaction time. If the drone is not able to detect an target, then it can be safely recovered via an inbuilt parachute. #IndianArmy #SolarGroup #Nagastra #KamikazeDrone #IndianArmedForces Indian Army Solar Industries India Limited hqids india Ministry of Defence of India Nitin A.
