India y Francia profundizan la cooperación en defensa con un pacto conjunto de producción de armas

India and France Deepen Defense Cooperation with Joint Arms Production Pact

TradingView | Local Language | News | Nov. 27, 2025 | Geopolitical Conflict and Disputes

India and France have strengthened their defense cooperation through a new agreement to jointly manufacture the Highly Agile Modular Munition Reach (HAMMER) air-to-ground precision weapon system in India. The pact between Indian state contractor Bharat Electronics and French company Safran Electronics and Defense aims to expand domestic defense production and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. The HAMMER system will be integrated into multiple aircraft platforms, including French Rafale fighters and India's indigenous Tejas aircraft, with collaboration encompassing manufacturing, supply chain development, and maintenance.

This agreement aligns with India's broader initiatives such as "Make in India" and "Atmanirbhar Bharat," focusing on increasing local production of advanced military technologies. It follows recent defense collaborations with Safran, including plans for domestic fighter engine manufacturing. France has become a key defense partner for India, complementing New Delhi’s efforts to diversify away from traditional Russian suppliers and leverage French technology transfer. The Indian government also approved the acquisition of 26 Rafale Marine fighters this year to bolster its air power amid regional security tensions.

However, India’s indigenous aerospace ambitions faced a setback after a Tejas fighter crashed during a demonstration at the Dubai Airshow, resulting in the pilot’s death and an ongoing investigation. Despite this, the HAMMER production deal signals India’s continued commitment to equipping both locally developed and imported aircraft with advanced precision weapons produced domestically to enhance military capabilities.
