India's Rudram-I is a Su-30MKI-launched anti-radiation missile tested against emitting targets; operational fielding remains unverified.
India's Zorawar is a roughly 25-tonne light tank under development for high-altitude and mountain operations, with induction provisionally expected in 2028-29 after further refinement and trials.
India's domestically produced 155 mm/45-caliber towed howitzer, developed from the FH-77B lineage with digital fire control, automatic laying and an auxiliary power unit.
India's heavily upgraded Arjun main battle tank, combining a 120 mm rifled gun, expanded protection and modernized sights with significant mobility, logistics and engine-supply constraints.
India's indigenous light attack helicopter, designed for armed reconnaissance, escort and anti-armor missions from demanding high-altitude bases.
India's rocket artillery — the Pinaka fires a salvo of twelve rockets in under a minute, saturating targets out to 40 km and, in guided versions, 75–120 km. Battle-proven since Kargil in 1999 and used again in 2025, it is now exported to Armenia.
India's home-built air shield — the Akash is an indigenous medium-range surface-to-air missile that guards against jets, drones and cruise missiles out to ~25 km. It performed well in India's 2025 clash with Pakistan and won its first export, to Armenia.
India's long-range deterrent — the Agni-V is a road-mobile, nuclear-capable ballistic missile that puts all of China within reach. In 2024 India test-fired a version carrying multiple independently-targeted warheads (MIRV), joining a small club of powers with that technology.
India's home-built fighter — four decades in the making — the Tejas is a light, agile single-engine delta jet that finally gave India an indigenous combat aircraft. The Mk1A adds AESA radar and beyond-visual-range missiles; the bigger Mk2 is coming. The flagship of India's defence self-reliance.
The world's fastest cruise missile in service — India and Russia's BrahMos is a Mach-3 ramjet weapon that hits ships and land targets from sea, land, air and submarine. India used it in combat against Pakistan in 2025 and now exports it to the Philippines.
