India Signs Agreement to Procure US-Made Javelin Anti-Tank Missile Systems
India has signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) with the United States to procure over 100 Javelin anti-tank guided missile systems, valued at approximately $45.7 million. The portable, fire-and-forget missile, jointly produced by Lockheed Martin and RTX, is designed to engage armored vehicles and fortified positions. US Ambassador Sergio Gor described the deal as a significant step in deepening bilateral defence ties and noted it could open opportunities for co-production between the two countries' defence industries.
