Bengaluru

A Memorandum of Understanding between Thales and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) will be signed in order to establish manufacturing facilities for precision-strike 70mm laser-guided rockets in India (FZ275 LGR).
According to a joint statement released on Tuesday, under the agreement, BDL will join the FZ275 LGR global supply chain, opening the door for the export of components made in India to current and potential users of 70mm laser-guided rockets.
This agreement will also give BDL the chance to supply a "Make in India" 70mm laser-guided rocket solution for the Indian government's current Advanced Light Helicopters (WSI) and Light Combat Helicopters fleet of helicopters, the company claimed.
