As the world watches Iran's Shahed-136 low-cost suicide drones and America's own Shahed-inspired LUCAS drones exact disproportionate damage on the battlefield for a fraction of the cost of conventional weapons, India's own answer to this class of warfare, the Sheshnaag-150, is quietly but steadily making headway in development testing.

The long-range swarming attack drone, built from scratch by Bengaluru-based defence startup Newspace Research Technologies (NRT), first flew a year ago. But in the wake of Operation Sindoor, during which NRT was called upon by the Indian military to deploy some of its other drone capabilities at the warfront, the urgency around a mature, home-grown, long-range swarming strike capability has sharpened dramatically. What was once a promising internal development program is now viewed through a far more operationally urgent lens.

Aviation Safety Network lists this aircraft as MKI-3 which I'm guessing is the Super Sukhoi upgrade variant.

Previous web page I quoted appears to have updated their info to taking off from Jorhat AFS (not Tezpur which is 130km to the west).

wait really? I thought they're just starting to get funding for the "super 30", has it already been a real thing?
