India, Israel Trust Jointly Developed Air Defence Solutions

THE ABILITY OF A nation to defend its territorial airspace is a cornerstone upon which its sovereignty rests.

It is therefore not surprising that governments invest tremendous resources to establish and maintain air defence systems. But the effectiveness of these systems is ultimately dependent upon their ability to create an accurate and up-to-date air situation picture a task made increasingly difficult as new threats multiply.

And with the emergence of new, highly sophisticated aerial threats, investments in air defence capabilities are growing at a rapid pace. Maintaining one of the world's largest military forces, India is heavily invested in the air defence modernisation, fielding new systems, modernising older weapons, and replacing obsolete systems with modern, state-of-the-art capabilities for all three defence branches Air Force, Navy, and Army.
