Notes: India has recently offered the indigenous Akash Air Defence Missile System to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Akash is a Short-Range Surface-to-Air Missile (SRSAM) system designed to protect important locations from enemy air attacks. It was fully developed in India by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and is manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), based in Hyderabad. The missile system was first inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF) in 2014 and later into the Indian Army in 2015. In 2022, Armenia became the first foreign nation to purchase the Akash missile system.
