"France to supply key technology for BrahMos missiles
Paris, June 18 [2015]: France has agreed 'in principle' to India's request for a crucial internal guidance technology to be provided by French company Safran (Sagem) for the BrahMos missiles. The issue was discussed in a bilateral meeting between the French Minister of Defence Jean-Yves Le Drian and visiting Indian Minister of State for Defence Production Rao Inderjit Singh at a meeting in Paris on Wednesday.
Singh pointed out that Sagem would not be transferring the technology to the Indian government but to BrahMos, which is an Indo-Russian joint venture, even though the navigation system is for missiles of below 300 km range."

COMMENT
The Indo-Russian BrahMos and closely related Russian Yakhont (SS-N-26 "Strobile") missiles are devastating supersonic anti-ship and potential land attack missiles. India and Russia wish to market them to countries in Australia's region, including Indonesia.
