‘Made in India’ hits the defense market! These 5 indigenous weapons became the first choice of big countries of the world

There has been a historic change in the global defense market in the last few years which has surprised military experts all over the world. India, which was once the world’s largest arms importer, has now quickly become one of the world’s leading arms exporter countries. Putting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Self-reliant India’ and ‘Make in India’ on the ground, Indian scientists and engineers have prepared such sophisticated weapons, which have become the first choice in the world today. According to the latest reports coming from the defense sector, there is a race among countries around the world to buy the five most deadly and reliable weapons made in India. The fear of this missile system of India from sea to sky. Whenever there is talk of India’s defense power, the first name that comes up is the supersonic cruise missile ‘BrahMos’. This missile, made with the joint efforts of India and Russia, has today completely become the identity of the ‘Made in India’ brand. Due to its unmatched speed (about three times faster than the speed of sound) and accurate firepower, many South-East Asian countries like the Philippines have purchased it for their navy and coastal security. Apart from BrahMos, India’s indigenous Akash air defense missile system is also creating a stir across the world. Given its ability to shoot down enemy fighter planes, drones and missiles in the air at low cost, many Middle Eastern countries including Armenia have made it a part of their army. The flight of fighter aircraft Tejas attracted the whole world. India’s indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) ‘Tejas’ has become one of the best fighter aircraft in the world in the aerial battlefield. This fourth generation (4.5 Generation) supersonic fighter jet is extremely light, agile and equipped with modern radar and electronic warfare systems. Malaysia, Argentina, Egypt and many African countries have shown keen interest in purchasing Tejas because it is extremely economical and easy to maintain compared to American and European fighter jets. This success of Tejas has included India in the league of select countries in the world which have the technology to manufacture and sell their own fighter aircraft. The power of Advanced Artillery Gun ‘ATAGS’ and Pinaka Rocket System is one of the most modern guns in the world. Its ability to fire long-range, accurate shells has impressed military generals of many countries in the world. Along with artillery, India’s ‘Pinaka’ multi-barrel rocket launcher system has also proved to be a big game changer in terms of defense exports. This indigenous rocket system, which can turn the entire enemy military base into a pile of debris in just a few seconds, has recently proved its strength in the battlefields, due to which its international demand is skyrocketing. The main reasons behind the increasing demand for indigenous weapons made in India. What is the reason why ‘Made in India’ weapons are becoming the world’s first choice among traditional arms manufacturers like America, Russia and France? Military analysts believe that there are three biggest reasons behind this – first, the unmatched quality and state-of-the-art technology of Indian weapons; second, their extremely competitive and low prices compared to weapons from Western countries; And the third most important reason is India’s ‘no strings attached’ policy. India treats its defense buyers as a trusted partner, which is increasingly attracting small and developing countries in today’s uncertain global environment.
