In Our Defence

Pinaka Success Story: Why Indian Army is in love with this rocket system| IOD, S02, Ep 54


Listen Later

In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and defence expert Shiv Aroor dive into the remarkable success story of the Pinaka Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL) system—an outlier in India's indigenous weapons development journey. Despite challenges that have plagued many homegrown defense projects, Pinaka stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when the armed forces, scientists, and private industry come together with a shared vision.

The two explore how the Indian Army’s unwavering support for the system, from its inception in the late 1980s to its present-day deployments, played a pivotal role in its success. Unlike other indigenous projects that struggled for acceptance, the Army threw its weight behind Pinaka from day one, ensuring the project’s progress with consistent orders and operational confidence.

The episode also shines a light on the groundbreaking public-private partnership that powers the Pinaka system. The collaboration between DRDO, Tata Advanced Systems, and Larsen & Toubro has delivered a system that rivals international counterparts, offering rapid-fire capabilities, versatility in terrain, and a range of cutting-edge features.
