Japan Explores Indian Missile Ranges for Long-Range Missile and Drone Training
Japan has sent a military delegation to India to explore the use of Indian missile testing and live firing ranges, particularly at Chandipur, Odisha, for training with long-range missiles like the Type-25 surface-to-ship missile and small attack drones. This move addresses Japan's challenge of securing adequate training space domestically as it expands its stand-off weapon capabilities. The cooperation reflects deepening defence ties between India and Japan amid regional security concerns, with discussions ongoing about operational arrangements and potential joint exercises.
