Indian Govt signs agreement with Armenia to supply defence systems
According to reports, India has signed a deal with Armenia for the supply of defense systems, including the Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers (MBRL) to the Armenian government. The Pinaka MBRL systems are manufactured by Indian defence industry partners and developed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
As a part of the deal, Armenia will also get anti-tank rockets systems and ammunition. The development can be seen as a big push for the government’s flagship Make in India program. India will be exporting missile systems, rockets, and ammunition to Armenia to help the nation defend itself from Azerbaijan.
According to reports, the Centre has set a target to sell defence equipment worth Rs 35,000 crore over the next three years. This development comes in a bid to push the government’s efforts to increase weapons exports, with policy reforms and active support of the government to secure overseas orders.
The ongoing clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan are linked to the decades-old hostilities over control of the mountainous Nagorno-Karabakh region. While the area is recognised as part of Azerbaijan by the international community, it has been largely controlled by the Armenian population.
