Moscow and Delhi have agreed to set up a joint venture in India for manufacturing and post-sales servicing of rockets for Russian Smerch multiple rocket launchers, state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport said on Wednesday.
The two countries signed a memorandum of cooperation on August 27, the agency said.
“Complete rocket production technology will be transferred to the joint venture,” it said.
The Smerch MLRS uses 300mm rockets with a range of 70 to 90 km with a variety of warheads.
