DefExpo 2018: Indian forces pull off jaw-dropping stunts
India, one of the biggest arms importers, is organizing the 10th edition of the DefExpo 2018 in Chennai. The biennial event, which hosts over 670 defence firms including 154 foreign manufacturers, will exhibit the latest indigenous weapons. Apart from these defence firms, the official delegations from over 47 countries including Russia, Afghanistan, US, UK, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Myanmar, Madagascar, Nepal, Portugal, Seychelles and Vietnam are also attending the DefExpo 2018. Secretary (Defence Production) Ajay Kumar told that China was also invited but it did not send any official delegation so far. The aim of this mega DefExpo 2018 is to nurture a lucrative military market in India and to boost up the arms sale. The Defence Ministry aims of achieving a turnover of Rs 1,70,000 crore in military goods and services by 2025 by promoting the domestic defence industry. The major international companies, which are participating in expo include Sibat (Israel), Wartsila (Finland), Boeing (US), Saab (Sweden), Airbus, Dassault Aviation (France), Rosonboron Exports, BAE Systems (UK), United Shipbuilding (Russia) and Rhode and Schwarz (Germany). The platforms and weapons, which are on display include the Tejas fighter jets, advanced towed artillery gun systems (ATAGS) designed by the DRDO, Arjun Mark 2 tanks and Dhanush artillery guns. The exhibition is spread over an area of 2.90 lakh square feet at Chennai shore. (PTI)
