NEW DELHI — India’s Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) has signed a contract worth 30 billion rupees ($475 million) with the country’s defense ministry to supply Invar anti-tank guided missiles to the Indian army. “The deliveries are expected to be completed over the next five years,” a defense ministry spokesman says. In 2011, India approved the purchase of 25,000 Invar missiles to be carried on the army’s T-90 tanks.
NEW DELHI — The Indian navy fears there are no survivors on the INS Sindhurakshak submarine, which sank in its dockyard with 18 people onboard after an explosion and fire. “The state of ... [the three recovered bodies] and conditions within the submarine leads to the firm conclusion that finding any surviving personnel within the submarine is unlikely,” an Indian navy spokesman says.
