India Russia Defence Cooperation Analysis

This question requires evaluating statements about defence cooperation between India and Russia.

Statement I: BrahMos Cruise Missile System

The BrahMos Cruise Missile system is a prime example of successful defence cooperation. It is indeed a joint venture, developed collaboratively by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyeniya (NPOM). Therefore, Statement I is correct.

Statement II: Indo-Russia Rifles Private Limited (IRRPL)

The Indo-Russia Rifles Private Limited (IRRPL) is a joint venture focused on small arms production, specifically the Kalashnikov AK-203 rifle. While it aligns with the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative, its production facility is located in Korwa, Amethi district, Uttar Pradesh, not Madhya Pradesh. Thus, Statement II is incorrect due to the wrong location.

Conclusion on Defence Cooperation

Based on the analysis:

  • Statement I is correct.
  • Statement II is incorrect.

Therefore, only Statement I is correct.
