missile defense system
LONDON — India and Israel have agreed to the joint development of an air and missile defense system.
Indian sources said New Dehli has agreed to pay $2.5 billion to develop an air and missile defense umbrella in a project with Israel. The sources said the project envisioned a network of batteries that could intercept incoming missiles, aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.
"India will jointly develop and co-produce a new generation of medium range surface-to-air missiles with Israel to secure the country's strategic assets from growing threats posed by aerial attacks and the proliferation of missiles in the region," the New Dehli-based Indian Government News reported.
