Made-In-India Laser guided rockets for Prachand/Rudra

The one common weapon on Indian Armed forces attack helicopters is 70mm rockets. Be it Rudra – the armed version of ALH or Prachand – the Light combat Helicopter, both are integrated with FZ231 70mm rocket pods by Thales. Each of these pods can carry 12X70mm guided or unguided rockets. These helicopters can carry 4 such pods with them and in total 48 rockets.
The Laser guided rockets which can be fired is FZ275 LGR and it uses semi-active laser for guidance. This missile fills the gap between the long-range high-value missiles and the shorter-range guns/cannon and unguided rockets, thus affording a full range of precision effects from a platform to defeat soft and light armoured targets. The rocket has maximum range of 7 km with CEP of 1m at 6 km range. It has mass of 12.7 kg with 4.1kg warhead. This rocket can be used against soft & light armoured vehicles, soft bunkers, air defence facilities and radar sites.
On 14th February 2023, Thales and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding for setting up manufacturing facilities in India for precision-strike 70mm laser guided rockets (FZ275 LGR). This agreement will also provide the opportunity for BDL to offer a ‘Make in India’ 70mm laser guided rocket solution for existing helicopter fleet of Advanced Light Helicopters (WSI) and Light Combat Helicopters of the Indian Government.

On 26th June 2024, Thales group has further announced the partnership with Adani defence for manufacturing 70mm rockets in India.
