Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has offered its air- launched Long-Range Artillery (LORA) missile to both the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy for integration with the P-8I maritime aircraft. This missile boasts a range exceeding 400 kilometers, enhancing the Navy’s deep- strike capabilities while maintaining existing anti- submarine roles. IAI is in talks with Bharat Electronics Limited for local manufacturing, aligning with India’s Make in India initiative. The potential for indigenous production not only strengthens India’s defense capabilities but also positions the country as an emerging defense exporter to allied nations, showcasing its commitment to self-reliance and regional stability.
