NEW DELHI – India and Israel are in the final stages of signing another military project which would further bolster the already expansive but secretive defence cooperation between the two countries since the 1999 Kargil conflict,Times of Indiareported.
Sources from the Indian defence ministry revealed that the contract negotiation committee has almost sealed the joint development of a medium-range surface-to-air missile system (MR-SAM) for the Indian Army through collaboration between DRDO and Israeli Aerospace Industries.
With deals between the two countries already amounting to around $10 billion over the last 15 years, Israel is among the top defence suppliers to India, supplying a range of spy and armed drones, sophisticated missile and radar systems.
Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon, in his recent visit to India in February offered the advanced Iron Dome interceptor, which was used to intercept the scores of rockets fired into his country last year; for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” policy.
“More orders might later follow since the Army’s air defence capabilities are relatively weak,” a source said.
