Israel's weapon sales to India: Barak-8, Spice, UAVs | The Defense and Tech Podcast

Defense expert Dr. Lauren Dagan Amoss reveals the depth of Israel's defense partnership with India, from the Barak-8 missile system's success in Operation Sindoor to next-generation AI and maritime cooperation. In this Defense & Tech Podcast, Dr. Dagan Amoss, a BESA Center fellow and Bar-Ilan University lecturer specializing in India's foreign and security policy, breaks down the complex military relationship that started quietly 30 years ago and now includes Barak-8 missiles, Spice guidance kits, UAVs, radars, and electronic warfare systems. She explains why India sees Pakistan's Sunni radicalization the same way Israel views Hamas threats. "They want to learn because what Israel is doing in Gaza, they want to do it in Pakistan," Dagan Amoss notes, while discussing India's interest in Israeli counterterrorism tactics and the evolving defense cooperation between the two nations.
