Defence Deal between India and Armenia: Big boost to 'Make in India'

Описание: Amidst clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan, India is set to export missiles, rockets, and ammunition to Armenia. Among other things, India will also export the indigenous Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers to Armenia to aid the nation against Azerbaijan. It will be the first export of the Pinaka rocket launchers.
According to reports, India has signed a $250 million (over Rs 2000 crore) deal to export anti-tank rockets and other ammunition to Armenia, apart from the rocket launchers. India will be supplying the weapons in the coming months via a government-to-government channel.
It is worth noting that India has been striving to boost its defence exports through policy changes like ‘Make In India’ and active government assistance in securing international orders. The Modi government has set a target to sell defence systems worth Rs 35,000 crore overseas by 2025.

The development comes days after External Affairs minister S Jaishankar had a meeting with Armenian foreign minister Arara Mirzoyan during the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in New York. During the meeting on 24th September, ‘Minister Mirzoyan presented to his colleague the consequences of the large-scale aggression unleashed by Azerbaijan against the sovereign territory of Armenia,’ a statement issued by MEA had said.
