Nibe's Suryastra Rockets Hit Bullseye, Army's Smart Punch!
Pune-based private firm Nibe Limited has successfully test-fired its Suryastra rockets at ITR Chandipur in Odisha. The 150 km version hit with a CEP of just 1.5 metres, while the 300 km one managed 2 metres, incredibly accurate for long-range rockets. CEP means half the rockets land inside a tiny circle around the target, showing pinpoint precision instead of "somewhere nearby." This was part of an Indian Army procurement order (reportedly worth around ₹293 crore). The system, based on a collaboration with Israeli tech, uses modular pods for different rockets. What it implies: It gives the Army a strong deep-strike capability to hit high-value targets from safe distances. More importantly, it shows India's private sector is now delivering advanced weapons, boosting self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat) and reducing dependence on imports. A quirky win: our rockets are now smarter than many old artillery pieces!
