Israel and India made a deal on anti-tank missile systems

Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, on the left, and Indian Interior Minister Rajnath Singh shake hands after concluding a preliminary agreement on anti-tank systems (IDT photo).

It is reported from Tel Aviv that in the near future India and Israel will enter into a contract, estimated at $ 500 million, for a tender approved by the Indian government for the supply of anti-tank missiles and their licensed production.

At a meeting on Friday in Tel Aviv with Indian Interior Minister Rajnath Singh, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon noted that the deal with the state-owned Rafael concern, the manufacturer of Spike / Gil anti-tank systems, was recently approved by New Delhi.

"More recently, the Indian government approved the purchase of anti-tank missiles from Raphael," said Ya'alon.

"India and Israel have common interests, and there is tremendous potential for cooperation between our armed forces ... thanks to the capabilities of the Israeli defense industry," said Yaalon.

The estimated $ 500 million deal includes the delivery of 8000 medium and long-range anti-tank missiles tested in combat over the past ten years in Gaza and Lebanon.

Sources claim that the agreement includes a license for the joint production of complexes in India.

At a meeting with Singh 6 on November 2014, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that both countries are “entering a new era of expanded cooperation.”

        It is no coincidence that Israel started all this (who is behind it?) .... With the Saudis a year ago, "friendship" was brought up .. blood flowed like a river in the Middle East .. Now India ..

      India and Israel are increasing their mutual military-technical cooperation, and we are increasingly staying away.

      If they go through such grubs, then instead of jointly developing a 5th generation fighter with us, there will be Indians (not Indians - Hinduism is one of the world's religions) to oppose the Rafals with Chinese planes or buy from them.

        The world has changed, more precisely, the technology of development and production.
        Now, many developing countries have money for modern weapons.
        And not only the USSR and the USA, as before.
        And whoever is seen trying to get out of the influence of "Uncle Sam" gets a revolution, if it doesn’t help, economic sanctions, then there is "aid" from the states for the development of "democracy" and cleansing the "country-recipient of democracy" from "bloody (corrupt) regime (dictator) ".

        Of course they will fly on the Rafals!
        And Sukhoi will give them all the best practices, starting EMNIP since 2003! As it was with the Yak and Italians!

        Are you up to date on Sino-Indian relations? The fact that these two countries already had war? While war, not war. But there were.
        And in the course that the Indian military doctrine explicitly called China the main enemy along with Pakistan?

        They climb without soap - they know how to work, and give normal after-sales service, and also do not live in the past?

    Indians, as partners, are generally of genuine interest, then they cooperate with us in the field of tank, aircraft and rocket science, then with Israel, then with someone else on various types of weapons, but they themselves did not give birth to something similar. trifles, but they invest money in the defense system methodically and selectively, but after all it should someday shoot it all ... it seems like a large-scale confrontation between India and China ...

    ....... India began to count its money and invest it in more modern weapons development ... Well, the competition in the arms market is extremely high and the Indians take advantage of this, which Russia has repeatedly been convinced from its bitter experience. Well, we need to draw conclusions from all this ... On the other hand, the deal between India and Israel will not go unnoticed in the Arab world and to the peak of it, they will also conclude new weapons contracts and Russia needs to be ready for them.

    if Israel has been knocking down our tanks for 10 years, then we need to show protection against spike so that they regret the wasted grandmothers. Can anyone enlighten the prospect of protection from them?

    Now I wanted to write "what the hell is Israel in the ranking of arms sales and who is the leader in sales !!" but I came across an interesting little article, the general meaning which consists in the proportion of the population of countries to the volume of sales, and it turns out that the employment of people in the field of high technologies (and modern weapons and equipment are certainly of a high technological level) in the leaders of Israel - they sold weapons for $ 6.35 billion, population 7 836 000 people - $ 814 per person (including 20% ​​of the Arab population, which practically does not create anything) USA - $ 95.24 billion worth of weapons sold with a population of 313 people - $ 232 per person, Russia - $ 044 billion and 304 9.3 people - 143 $ per person!?!?!
    I myself am skeptical of any ratings and the final figures can be twisted out quite peculiarly if you wish, but it’s stupid to deny the facts.
    Friends all to the courses on the development of "Autocad", "Vector", "Compass" and invent, create, promote !!!!

      Missile boats are being built at shipyards in Israel,
      larger surface and submarine ships
      Israel is buying. And weapons systems and devices
      put your own.
      So it is with aviation: we buy a glider in the USA, and
      weapons and avionics - their own.
      Tanks and armored personnel carriers are collected in Israel, but with American
      diesels. And all types of missiles (except Patriot missiles) -
      produced in Israel.

        They were building in France, until France abandoned, refused to transfer those already built and paid. The last batch had to be driven out of the port on the quiet at night. Russia, you see, did not hear about this story with the French scammer, or didn’t attach any importance, and fell into one with the Mistrals. But, just like the Jews, is it not weak to hijack Vladivostok at night?

    Israelis know how to trade, that's the result. They are guilty themselves, they thought that apart from our place the Indians would have nowhere to buy and forgot that we were not alone in this bazaar. I would not even be surprised if the Indians started buying Chinese planes, the Chinese also learned to trade. And we as always, at the tail of the train and trying to understand why everything is so.

    Do not shake his hand, he will cheat you !!! It was necessary to shout to someone from the audience. It's a joke, of course, but with Kazakhstan RZSO Israeli production did not work out very well. They wrote that they fell apart after several exercises. Although they could do this for various reasons. But the sediment remained.
