India is planning to acquire the battle-tested Javelin anti-tank missile system from the United States, US Ambassador Sergio Gor has said. Developed by Lockheed Martin and RTX, the shoulder-fired weapon features fire-and-forget technology, top-attack capability and an imaging infrared seeker. The system has seen extensive combat use, including in Ukraine. For India, the proposed acquisition could strengthen infantry anti-armour capabilities alongside existing weapons, particularly along challenging borders. Details including the number of missiles and deal value are yet to be disclosed.
