New possibilities of defense cooperation
India and Brazil are now strengthening not only diplomatic, but also strategic relations. Both countries are now moving towards increasing cooperation in areas like joint research, technology transfer and military training. P.

This will not only be an opportunity for India to promote defense exports, but can also open the way of stake in the global military production network.
Akash missile
Akash Air Defense System has been developed by DRDO. It is a medium-range supersonic missile, with a range of 25–45 km and the ability to hit up to 20 km. The Mach 2.5 -based missile system is capable of combating air threats such as fighter jets, drones and cruise missiles.
This system has also played an important role in Operation Sindoor, where it successfully thwarted drone and missile attacks by Pakistan.
