INDIA AND FRANCE WELCOME THE ONGOING TALKS ON MISSILES, HELICOPTER AND JET ENGINES

- HT Correspondent

NEW DELHI: India offered the indigenously developed Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher system to France as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Emmanuel Macron discussed the expansion of defence and security cooperation between the two sides.

The Pinaka system, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the Indian Army, found its first foreign customer in 2023 when Armenia signed a $245-million deal for it. Several other countries, including Indonesia and Nigeria, have expressed interest in the weapon system.

Modi "invited the French Army to take a closer look at the Pinaka MBRL, emphasising that an acquisition of this system by France would be another milestone in Indo-French defence ties", said a joint statement issued on Wednesday.
