The Indian-made Akash missile system has gained international acclaim after successfully neutralizing aerial threats during a recent conflict with Pakistan, including downing guided rockets. This success has led to increased global interest, with potential sales discussions underway with the Philippines, Brazil, and various Middle Eastern nations for its advanced variants. The Akash-1S, featuring a new seeker, has already been exported to Armenia, marking India’s foray into major air defense system exports. Looking ahead, the next-generation Akash-NG, with extended range and advanced features, is positioned to further enhance India’s defense capabilities and solidify its standing in the global arms market.
