The Indian government is holding discussions with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the possible export of some of its flagship defence systems, including the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, Reuters reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The talks also cover the potential sale of the Akashteer air defence system, as the UAE seeks to bolster its military capabilities amid heightened security concerns in West Asia. Sources said Abu Dhabi has expressed interest in multiple Indian weapon systems and that negotiations, though still in the early stages, are moving forward swiftly.
“UAE has shown interest for a number of our weapon systems including BrahMos and Akashteer. The talks between India and UAE are at initial stages and are progressing fast," Reuters quoted a source, with direct knowledge of the matter, as saying.
