India Arms Itself With America’s Deadliest Tank-Killers: USD 93 Million Javelin-Excalibur Deal Turns Indian Army Into Unstoppable Force | World News

India has become exponentially deadlier. The United States has approved two game-changing US$ 93 million military deals that will transform the Indian Army into a precision strike force capable of destroying enemy armor before the enemies even know what hit them.

The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency has approved the $45.7 million sale of the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile system, the same “fire-and-forget” weapon used effectively against Russian tanks in Ukraine. India’s package includes 100 Javelin missiles, 25 command launch units, training equipment, simulation rounds and full support. In simple terms, Indian soldiers will now be able to hit enemy tanks from a distance of more than two kilometers and quickly take cover while tracking the missile target on its own.

The second US$47.1 million deal provides up to 216 M982A1 Excalibur precision-guided artillery rounds, laser-precision projectiles capable of hitting targets dozens of kilometers away with pinpoint accuracy. These are not ordinary weapons; These are GPS-guided munitions that turn Indian artillery into surgical strike weapons.

Javelin Advantage: Fire, Forget, Dominate

Here’s what makes the Javelin so effective: Unlike older wire-guided systems that forced soldiers to remain exposed while guiding the missile, the Javelin uses automatic infrared guidance. Indian troops could fire and immediately take cover; The missile does the rest, using its upper attack profile to hit tanks where their armor is weakest. The Javelin is also quite versatile; It has the capacity to destroy armored vehicles, fortified positions and targets under cover. It remains one of the world’s leading man-portable anti-tank weapons.

Strategic Mastery for India

The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency emphasized that these sales will deepen the US-India strategic partnership while strengthening India’s ability to counter existing and emerging threats. Both systems are currently limited in service with the Indian Army; these acquisitions replenish inventories, expand operational capacity, and increase interoperability with U.S. platforms.

The message to India’s adversaries is clear: Indian forces now have the first-strike accuracy and defensive firepower to neutralize threats before they materialise. Combined with Excalibur’s precision artillery capability, India’s conventional deterrent has reached unprecedented levels. The balance of power in South Asia has shifted decisively in India’s favour.
