India will dispatch the second shipment of Akash surface-to-air missile systems to Armenia in July, marking continued defense cooperation between the two countries.
India is set to send the second batch of its Akash anti-aircraft missile systems to Armenia this July, according to a report by the International Affairs and Diplomacy Network (IADN).
This follows the delivery of the first battery of the Akash system in late November last year. The missiles are part of a $710 million defense agreement signed between the two nations in 2022, under which Armenia agreed to purchase 15 Akash systems from India. The deal, worth approximately 60 billion rupees, marked Armenia as the first foreign buyer of the Akash system.
Developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the Akash is a medium-range surface-to-air missile system capable of targeting a wide range of aerial threats, including fighter jets, cruise missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and drones. It has an operational range of up to 25 kilometers.
Each Akash battery, produced by Bharat Electronics Limited, includes a passive electronically scanned 3D radar and four launchers. Each launcher is equipped with three missiles, and all components are interconnected to provide integrated air defense coverage.
The sale is part of India’s broader push to become a major defense exporter, while for Armenia, it represents a strategic effort to modernize its military capabilities amid regional tensions.
