Tata, Javelin JV to co-produce anti-tank missiles in India after US FMS deal

Tata Advanced Systems and the Javelin Joint Venture signed a pact to co-produce Javelin anti-tank guided missiles in India, following the Indian Army's emergency FMS procurement from the US. This marks a deepening of US-India defense industrial cooperation and a shift toward domestic production of a critical weapon system. The move signals India's push for self-reliance in defense manufacturing and strengthens its anti-tank capabilities amid regional tensions.
