In mid-October 2026, the Army received 450 Nagastra 1R units via an emergency procurement route. These short-range munitions feature a two-metre Circular Error Probable and the ability to abort missions mid-flight for safe recovery. The system includes 360-degree gimbal cameras and encrypted telemetry for use in contested environments. Following this, the Army began receiving the Nagastra-2 anti-tank loitering munition system. Developed in Nagpur, the Nagastra-2 is equipped with a 4 kg tandem shaped-charge warhead capable of penetrating 650 mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armour. It offers a strike range of 50 km in ‘fire-and-forget’ mode and a 25 km range in ‘recover-and-reuse’ mode, with specialized electronic counter-countermeasures to resist jamming and spoofing. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-23: Indian Army receives Nagastra-2 loitering munitions The Indian Army has started receiving Nagastra-2 anti-tank loitering munitions from Solar Defence and Aerospace, featuring a 50 km strike range and electronic warfare resistance. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indian-army-receives-nagastra-2-loitering-munitions ### 2026-10-13: Indian Army receives 450 Nagastra 1R loitering munitions The Indian Army has received 450 Nagastra 1R loitering munitions from Solar Defense and Aerospace Limited, the largest single-batch delivery of such precision-strike drones to the service. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indian-army-receives-450-nagastra-1r-loitering-munitions --- Cite as: Indian Army Nagastra loitering munitions procurement.
