India is accelerating plans to procure additional Martlet missiles from the United Kingdom, potentially becoming the system’s largest customer after Ukraine. The proposed purchase would strengthen India’s short-range air-defense capabilities and deepen defense cooperation with Britain. Martlet missiles are designed to engage targets including drones, helicopters, and lightly armored vehicles. The deal’s final size, cost, and delivery schedule have not been publicly confirmed. If completed, the acquisition would support India’s military modernization and efforts to address evolving regional security challenges.
