The two allies are negotiating deals for domestic manufacture of LORA theater quasi-ballistic and Ice Breaker cruise missiles.
India is in advanced talks to manufacture LORA (LOng Range Artillery) tactical ballistic missiles on license from Israel Aerospace Industries and Ice Breaker cruise missiles on license from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems as part of its “Make in India” program, Globes reported on Sunday.
The negotiations follow a memorandum of understanding signed on Nov. 4 by Israeli Ministry of Defense Director General Amir Baram and Indian Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh to boost cooperation.
A delegation from India’s Ministry of Defense recently visited Israel to discuss deals to procure and locally produce both missile systems, according to Globes, citing the India Defence Research Wing website.
