Indian Armed Forces: Why is the Indian Army buying 8,356 Israeli ATGMs when it currently possesses Nag anti tank missiles?
I have a question about the Indian Armed Forces. Why is the Indian Army buying 8,356 Israeli ATGMs when it currently possesses Nag anti tank missiles?
The decision of the Indian Army to purchase Israeli Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) is based on the requirement of the Army to modernize and upgrade its inventory. The Nag missile system is a fire-and-forget ATGM, whereas the Israeli Spike missile system has a range of up to 4 kilometers and can be used both in direct fire and top attack mode.
