00:06deal for UK-made martelet missiles to bolster India's army arsenal. But this isn't just
00:11about buying weapons, this marks a deeper pivot in strategic partnerships. India is diversifying
00:16its supply chains, moving beyond traditional suppliers, while the UK is pushing hard to
00:22stay relevant in the Indo-Pacific game. These lightweight multi-role missiles manufactured
00:26by Thales in Belfast can hit targets at 6km and travel at 1.5 mark speed. They're the same

00:45into. This deal comes against a backdrop of shifting global tensions, emerging tech rivalries and contests
