BIG! PM Modi Set To Ink Mega Defence Pact With Brazil: Akash Missiles, Submarines On Agenda

India and Brazil are gearing up to sign a big-ticket defence pact during PM Narendra Modi's upcoming visit. Brazil has expressed keen interest in India's Akash Air Defence System, coastal surveillance tech, and even joint submarine maintenance. Secretary (East) P Kumaran revealed that both nations are exploring defence collaboration in battlefield communication, offshore patrol vessels (OPVs), and co-development of new platforms like Garuda artillery guns. Brazil also seeks tech cooperation on its Scorpene-class submarines, and potential tie-ups in the aviation sector using the Embraer platform. Talks are underway on nuclear cooperation, green energy and biofuels, with possible discussions on small modular reactor (SMR) tech. With defence ties deepening, this visit could mark a new era in India-Brazil strategic relations. India's indigenous Akash missile system was instrumental in repelling Pakistan's attempted air strikes during Operation Sindoor. Developed by DRDO and inducted into the Indian Air Force and Army in the 2010s, the Akash system has come of age as India's frontline surface-to-air defence weapon.#RajasthanNews #PakHinduCouple #TharDesertTragedy #IndiaPakistanBorder #Jaisalmer #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews Read More
