Sheshnag Drone: India's private defense sector showcased a technology that caught everyone's attention at the World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh.

The Sheshnag 150 swarm drone, developed by NewSpace Research and Technologies, has been unveiled as a loitering munition capable of striking at ranges up to 1,000 kilometers deep. This move demonstrates that India's unmanned warfare capabilities are no longer limited to strategic needs.

Long range and heavy firepower

The Sheshnag 150 is designed as a bridge between small drones and more expensive cruise missiles. According to the company, it is capable of carrying a 25-40 kilogram warhead, enabling it to target fortified and vital targets.

Its flight duration is reported to be approximately five hours, suggesting it may use a small engine instead of batteries.

 

Its delta-wing configuration prioritizes stable flight and long range. It claims to deliver precision strikes within a range of approximately five meters. If this accuracy is maintained in tests, it could be classified as a conventional guided missile.

It does not attack alone; it attacks in groups.

The uniqueness of the Sheshnag 150 lies not only in its range or payload, but also in its swarm model.

It is designed not as a standalone weapon but as part of a coordinated attack system.

Multiple drones launched simultaneously can perform different roles. Some will act as decoys to confuse enemy radar, others will gather intelligence or disrupt communications, while the main attack drone will deliver precision strikes to the target. This strategy applies pressure to enemy air defense systems from multiple directions simultaneously.

A new addition to India's strike capability

From a military perspective, this system fills a significant gap. Cruise missiles are expensive and limited in number, while traditional tactical drones lack long range. With a range of 1,000 kilometers, it would be possible to attack strategic targets such as command centers, air defense bases, ammunition depots, and airports without risking manned aircraft.

No official purchase agreement has been announced yet, but the program is said to be developed with private investment and is also prepared for export.
