flag The Indian Army has proposed acquiring 120 km-range guided Pinaka rockets, with the Defence Acquisition Council set to review the Rs 2,500 crore project. flag Developed by DRDO, the upgraded rockets will extend the existing Pinaka system’s range and be compatible with current launchers. flag First tests are expected in the next financial year, with production to follow via a bidding process. flag The Army is also expanding its Pinaka regiments through contracts for area denial munitions and software upgrades. flag The system, already exported to Armenia and attracting interest from European nations including France, is seen as a key indigenous defense success. flag Army leadership indicates it may abandon alternative long-range systems once the 120 km version becomes operational.
