India's defense sector is undergoing significant upgrades with a recent approval of a 72,000 crore ($8.7 billion) deal for new weapons. A key component is the SPICE 1000, an Israeli-made smart bomb kit from Rafael. Unlike GPS-dependent munitions, SPICE 1000 uses a camera system to identify and track targets up to 100 kilometers away, correcting its course mid-flight for high accuracy, even if GPS signals are jammed. This acquisition reflects a strategic shift towards advanced, resilient defense capabilities.
