Indian Arms Makers Discuss Joint Ventures with Russia

Indian arms companies had meetings in Russia to talk about working together.

They discussed making parts for fighter jets and other military equipment.

This is important because India wants to make its own weapons instead of buying them.

However, there are risks because of sanctions and political issues.

The Indian government is trying to change its old defence ties with Russia to focus on making new weapons together.

Some companies, like Adani Defence and Bharat Forge, were part of these talks.

But there are concerns about the risks of working with Russia, especially because of the war in Ukraine.
