South Korea and India discuss stalled Biho air defense deal

Tuesday, 29 September 2026, 08:44 · 1 min read

South Korea's arms procurement agency, DAPA (the Defense Acquisition Program Administration), said it raised the stalled Biho Hybrid air defense system export with India's defense ministry during talks in New Delhi on Tuesday. India had weighed a roughly $2.5 billion purchase of the Hanwha Aerospace-built anti-aircraft vehicle, but the plan stalled amid New Delhi's push for domestic defense manufacturing. Media reports say India is now reconsidering the system as it seeks counter-drone capabilities, and the two sides also discussed support for India's K9 howitzers and revitalizing a 2020 defense partnership roadmap.
