Pinaka to Suryastra: India's push for deeper, precise strikes without fighter jets

India's Operation Sindoor demonstrated precision strikes against terror targets deep inside Pakistan. The Pinaka rocket system has evolved to hit targets up to 120 kilometers away. New variants like the Long Range Guided Rocket enhance India's strike capabilities significantly. Suryastra is envisioned as a next-generation system to rival missile accuracy. These developments signify India's shift towards non-contact warfare and enhanced deterrence.
