Adani Defence 70 mm Rockets: In a significant step toward achieving self-sufficiency in defense production, Adani Defence & Aerospace and Thales Group have partnered to produce 70 mm rockets for India’s attack helicopters.
When it comes to producing 70mm rockets, launchers, and fire control systems, Thales is a global leader. Laser guidance ensures accurate target impacts.
With laser-guided accuracy, Thales’s 70 mm rockets can be employed against air defense stations, radar sites, communication facilities, and soft and light armoured vehicles.

India’s assault fleet includes the HAL Rudra, an attack version of the Dhruv helicopter, the Prachand light combat helicopter, the Apache AH-64, and the Mi-35 helicopter.
According to NDTV, the LCH Prachand, which was developed in the country, was admitted into the Air Force in 2022. Prachand is capable of carrying out a variety of tasks, including counter-insurgency (CI) operations, destruction of enemy air defense (DEAD), and combat search and rescue (CSAR).
In addition, the helicopter can be used to support ground forces, conduct counter-insurgency operations in urban and forest settings, and breakthrough high-altitude bunkers.
Adani Defence and Aerospace and EDGE Group, one of the top defense and advanced technology companies in the world, inked a historic deal earlier this month.
Through the collaboration, both firms’ defense and aerospace expertise will be leveraged to create a worldwide platform that will combine their respective product portfolios and meet the needs of both local and international clients.
