India and Russia have tied up for a joint venture to manufacture Smerch rockets. A memorandum of understanding for starting the joint venture was signed between India's Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) and Russia's Rosoboronexport and Splav SPA here Monday, the defence ministry said Tuesday. The technology for the five versions of Smerch rockets will come from Russia. "OFB signed a MoU for a joint venture with Rosoboronexport and Splav SPA to manufacture five versions of Smerch Rockets based on the technology received from Russia," a ministry statement said. Smerch rockets are a hi-tech weapon system with a range of 70-80 km. "The MoU, duly approved by Defence Minister A.K. Antony, has been signed by three parties in New Delhi," it said. After indigenising the technology of Smerch rockets, OFB will attain new heights in manufacturing of the advanced rocket system, it added. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/274766/india-russia-sign-pact-smerch.html |

Yeap this is it. But the contract is all about manufacturing rockets and other ammunition for Smerch, not the delivery systems it seems. |
