Weapon Systems  

This comes at a time when the Indian armed forces are inducting the next-generation Barak-8 surface-to-air missile systems under three joint DRDO-Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) projects worth over Rs 30,000 crore.

The defence ministry on August 9 introduced import embargo on at least 101 items to boost the indigenisation of defence production
 

Indian Air Force (IAF) is planning to acquire new MiG 29 fighters from Russia and equip them with weapon systems such as Astra air. 

According to senior officials, the financial powers have been increased for all the three services. They can now buy weapon systems worth Rs 300 crore under each proposal.

 

 

From indigenous production under licence after procurement to the coming of age of the private sector in defence equipment manufacturing, from great utility for the Army, Navy and Air Force to importers showing keen interest in our weapon systems, the Make-in-India project for military hardware has arrived all guns blazing.
 

In order to save money for buying new weapon systems, the Army headquarters had issued a policy a few months ago which mandated that during temporary duty visits to other locations, the officers should stay in the army guest rooms.
