India plans to acquire the US-made Javelin anti-tank missile system for $45.7 million, enhancing defense ties with the US. The deal may lead to joint manufacturing, reflecting ‘record-level’ engagement between the two nations, according to US Ambassador Sergio Gor.
India is set to acquire the Javelin anti-tank missile system from the United States, with a deal valued at $45.7 million, announced by US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor. The system, manufactured by Javelin Joint Venture, a collaboration between Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, is designed to destroy armored vehicles. The Javelin has an automated guidance capability, allowing the missile to follow and engage the target after launch, reducing the risk of enemy counterfire.
The system is also equipped with a soft-launch capability, enabling it to be fired from enclosed locations such as buildings and bunkers without exposing the operator to hazards. The deal comes as part of a framework for an expanded defense partnership between the two countries, aimed at improving interoperability across various domains.
