Defence ministry inks Rs 5,000 crore deal with PSU
Friday, 15 December 2023 On Friday, the defense ministry finalized a significant Rs 5,336 crore agreement with the defense public sector unit Bharat Electronics for the acquisition of electronic fuzes designed for the Army's artillery guns. This transaction addresses the extended 10-year requirement for these crucial components. Electronic fuzes play a vital role in medium to heavy calibre artillery guns, delivering sustained long-range firepower crucial for military operations. A defense ministry official explained, "The fuzes, to be produced at BEL's Pune and upcoming Nagpur facilities, will find application in artillery guns capable of engaging lethally in diverse terrains."
On Friday (Apr 19), the Philippines will receive its first contracted BrahMos missile from India, marking a significant milestone in defence collaboration between the two nations. The journey of this BrahMos missile, renowned as the world's fastest supersonic cruise missile, commences from Nagpur, India, where it is loaded onto an Indian Air Force (IAF) C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft. Accompanied by three civilian freight liners transporting additional parts and support systems, the missile is poised to bolster the defence capabilities of the Philippine Marine Corps' coastal defence regiment.
