India has achieved a significant milestone in defense cooperation with Israel by securing full technology transfer for the Air Lora quasi-ballistic missile and the Ice Breaker smart cruise missile, allowing for indigenous production under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. This transfer encompasses essential design know-how and system architecture, which will enable Bharat Electronics Limited and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to manufacture these advanced missile systems domestically. The Air Lora offers an impressive range of over 400 kilometers with high precision, while the Ice Breaker integrates AI capabilities for autonomous targeting. This development not only bolsters India’s deterrence posture amid regional threats but also aligns with its strategic goal of becoming a major defense exporter in the Indo-Pacific, reflecting a decisive shift towards self-reliance in advanced military technology.
