India Plans to Acquire US-Made Javelin Anti-Tank Missile System, Ambassador Says
India plans to acquire the US-made Javelin anti-tank missile system, a move announced by US Ambassador Sergio Gor as a significant step in strengthening bilateral defence ties. The Javelin, developed by Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, is a portable, fire-and-forget system widely used by US and allied forces. The deal, confirmed through a Letter of Offer and Acceptance, may also open opportunities for co-production, reflecting record-high engagement between India and the United States in defence cooperation.
