India Successfully Tests Suryastra Precision Rocket System With 300-Km Strike Capability

Nibe Limited's Suryastra rocket system was tested at Chandipur this week across two variants — 150 km and 300 km — hitting targets within 1.5 and 2 metres respectively. Here's a full breakdown of what the system does, why the precision numbers matter, and what it signals for India's evolving defence manufacturing landscape.
