India and Israel Discuss Transfer of Iron Dome and Iron Beam Defence Technologies

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel, discussions focus on expanding defence cooperation, including the transfer of Israel's Iron Dome and Iron Beam systems to India. The Iron Beam, a laser-based interceptor with low operational costs, complements India's indigenous Directed Energy Weapons and the Sudarshan Chakra air defence network. This integration aims to enhance India's capabilities against drones, rockets, and missiles by combining cost-effective laser technology with missile interceptors for a layered defence approach.
