This is a proposal to cooperate with Israel to develop advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles. The plan will meet the national defense needs of India and foreign troops including Israel. Due to national security concerns, the details of the mission were not disclosed.
military transport aircraft
The Indian government is handling a proposal to purchase C-130J transport aircraft for the Air Force. No purchase contract has been signed yet. In addition, there is a proposal for India and Russia to jointly develop medium-sized transport aircraft.
BrahMos missile
Indian Navy and Indian Air Force have successfully developed BrahMos supersonic cruise missile with Russia. The research and development of air-to-air missiles has been approved and is being integrated with the Indian Air Force SU-30 MKI.
The redesign and development of air-launched missiles have been completed, and tests are being prepared. The design of universal launchers that can launch different types of missiles has also begun. The experiment is expected to be completed in 2009.
Indian Defense Minister Refutes Media’s "China Army Invasion Theory"

India will test domestic interceptor missiles next month, claiming to be comparable to Patriots.
According to the "India Times" reported on November 26th, the Indian army will use domestic equipment to conduct ballistic missile interception test next month, hoping to be invincible while holding the nuclear sword high. According to reports, the anti-missile test scheduled to be implemented in early December will be launched at the Balasol base in Orissa, eastern India. At that time, a "Dadi" missile simulating an enemy attack will be the first to take off. The anti-missile force located on Wheeler Island, 80 kilometers away, will immediately use the long-range search radar to track it, and choose the opportunity to launch an interceptor missile to accurately destroy the target at a height of 15 ~ 20 kilometers. According to the Indian military, all the core components of other systems are independently produced except for some imported technologies used in the early warning radar. Read the full text ""
