A BEL official said that the company will be the partner to manufacture LORA missiles in India, while IAI will provide the technology. He added that LORA missiles have already been inducted into the Indian Navy
According to the announcement, Bharat Electronics Limited, an Indian government company and the aerospace industry will jointly manufacture India’s long-range surface-to-surface (LORA) missile system.
The Laura missile was designed for both maritime and land applications. The missile follows a ballistic trajectory at supersonic speed to the target but can perform random or programmed evasive maneuvers in flight to reduce tracking and interception.
Such missiles were previously sold to Azerbaijan and were even used in conflicts around Nagorno-Karabakh.
