INDUSTRY TEAMINGS
27 Feb 08. India will jointly build a surface-to-air missile with its second biggest weapons supplier Israel and hopes for such collaborations with other countries. “A project has been finalised with (state-run) Israeli Aerospace Industry for the joint development of a futuristic long range surface-to-air missile,” Defence Minister A.K. Antony announced in parliament. He did not give details of the project but others said New Delhi earlier this month had approved the $625m joint venture with the Jewish state to build the anti-aircraft missiles for the Indian navy. The announcement in parliament came a day after India conducted its first test of a nuclear-capable missile from an undersea platform, completing its goal of having air, land and sea ballistic systems.
