A Pune-based defense company has successfully conducted firing demonstrations of the EXTRA and Predator Hawk “Suryastra” rockets, with ranges of 150 km and 300 km, respectively, at the Integrated Test Range in Chandipur, Odisha, on May 18 and 19, according to a report by Surendra Singh.
Suryastra represents India’s first indigenous universal multi-caliber rocket launcher system, specifically designed for precision surface-to-surface strikes against hostile targets. This system bridges the gap between traditional field artillery and heavy ballistic missiles, providing the armed forces with a flexible, rapid-response, and cost-effective precision weapon option.
NSE-listed NIBE Ltd has received a purchase order from the Indian Army under emergency procurement protocols for the supply of the Suryastra launcher and its associated rockets.
