  "summary": "Korea and India discussed the stalled Biho air defense system export project during their regular defense cooperation dialogue on Tuesday, according to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) in Seoul. The Biho Hybrid air defense system, built by Hanwha Aerospace, features twin 30 millimeter rapid-fire cannons for close-range targets and missiles for longer-range threats. India had previously considered purchasing the Biho Hybrid armored vehicle system in a potential deal estimated at $2.5 billion, but the project did not progress due to the Indian government's push for domestic defense manufacturing. The system is considered an effective platform to counter drones and low-flying jets, and India is reportedly taking a fresh look at the Biho Hybrid system.",
