Global defence major Thales and Kalyani Strategic Systems Ltd (KSSL), the wholly-owned defence subsidiary of Bharat Forge, have signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement to explore collaboration on unguided and laser-guided variants of Thales’ combat-proven 70-mm rocket systems, officials said on Thursday.
The 70-mm rocket systems are already in use with the Indian armed forces. The partnership comes amid Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever’s ongoing official visit to India.
