India and Belgium Collaborate on Indigenous Zorawar Light Tank for High-Altitude Defense
India and Belgium are enhancing defense collaboration, highlighted by the indigenous Zorawar light tank designed for high-altitude warfare. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever discussed this partnership during De Wever's first visit to India in 20 years. The Zorawar tank, lighter yet comparably armed to China's Type 15, features advanced weaponry and mobility suited for rugged terrains. Induction into the Indian Army is expected by 2027, with joint manufacturing efforts including Belgian turret technology.
