The UK Ministry of Defence announced India will buy £350m of UK-made Lightweight Multirole Missiles and launchers built in Belfast, sustaining 700+ jobs at Thales Northern Ireland. The deal aligns with UK‑India strategic cooperation, alongside a £250m implementing arrangement on electric engines for naval ships, and dovetails with Exercise Konkan featuring HMS Prince of Wales and INS Vikrant—signalling intent to grow defence industry links and Indo‑Pacific stability. #defense
