They exported 7 dhruv helicopters. To Ecuador. 4 of them crashed and 3 had to be scrapped for major safety issues. Indian military hardware will kill the user before it ever kills their enemies.

I really had no idea.
But my feeling was right.

India’s Defence Export Value by Country (2025)​

1. Philippines — ~$375 million​

• BrahMos coastal defence system (India’s largest-ever defence export)
• Follow‑on naval systems
• Training + integration packages

This single deal dominates India’s export book.

2. Armenia — ~$250–300 million
Pinaka rocket systems

Artillery
Anti‑drone systems
Ammunition
Radars

Armenia is India’s fastest‑growing defence customer.

3. Mauritius — ~$100–150 million​

• Dornier‑228 aircraft
• Offshore patrol vessels
• Coastal radar systems
• Maritime surveillance equipment

Mauritius is a long‑term Indian defence partner.

4. Maldives — ~$50–70 million​

• Patrol boats
• Maritime surveillance systems
• Coastal security equipment

Small country, but consistent buyer.

5. Sri Lanka — ~$50–60 million​

• Naval boats
• Surveillance systems
• Training equipment

Mostly maritime security.


Mauritius and Maldives? Philippines must be desperate or what?
