Explanation
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully flight-tested the Pinaka Long Range Guided Rocket (LRGR) in July 2026. The LRGR is an upgraded version of the Pinaka system with an extended maximum range of 120 km.
- Minimum Range: A specific requirement for the trial was to demonstrate the rocket's ability to engage targets at a user-defined minimum range of 60 km.
- Precision Maneuvers: To hit the minimum range target, the rocket had to shed energy and execute complex in-flight maneuvers, which it did with high accuracy (textbook precision).
- Versatility: The test proved that the same in-service Pinaka launcher can fire multiple variants, including those capable of hitting targets deep inside hostile territory at 120 km and those at closer ranges of 60 km.
