Which of the following items of defence hardware is/are manufactured in India ?
- Su-30 MKI Fighter Jets
- T-90 MK-III Tanks
- Akula Class Submarine
Select the answer using the code given below :
Detailed Explanation:
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Su-30 MKI fighter jets are manufactured in India by HAL under a technology-transfer agreement, while T-90 Mk-III (Bhishma) tanks are produced in India at the Heavy Vehicles Factory, Avadi.
Statement 3 is incorrect because Akula-class submarines are designed and built in Russia. India has only leased these submarines and does not manufacture them.
Therefore, Option A (1 and 2) is correct.
India follows a policy of defence indigenisation, promoting domestic production of military equipment through technology transfer, licensed manufacturing, and indigenous development. This supports self-reliance under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative in the defence sector.
