Reports claim Israel is marketing the jointly developed Barak‑8 (MR‑SAM) missile globally by excluding critical Indian‑contributed components—such as the DRDO‑developed dual‑pulse rocket motor—from export versions . The system, developed jointly by India’s DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries since 2006, offers medium‑range air defence capabilities with ranges from 70 to 100 km (extended up to 150 km) . Indian stakeholders feel sidelined as Israeli firms present it as entirely their own technology in overseas deals, raising concerns over strategic equity and the integrity of future defence collaboration.
