From BrahMos to Akashteer: UAE interest puts India’s defence technology in focus

The United Arab Emirates has expressed interest in India's Akashteer air defence system and the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, according to a Reuters report, highlighting potential opportunities for India's defence exports. The reported interest comes as militaries worldwide strengthen air defence capabilities against drones and other aerial threats, while any potential acquisition would remain subject to technical evaluations, commercial negotiations and government approvals.
