India, Aug. 28 -- The UK Ministry of Defence and Thales have signed a £36 million contract to supply hundreds more Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMM) to the British Armed Forces. This builds on contracts already in place with Thales to enhance the UK's stockpile of missile systems. Thales has quadrupled its production capability for missiles at its facilities in Northern Ireland since 2022. Deliveries of the newly agreed systems will begin over the next few months. LMM is laser guided to ensure precision against a range of threats and is particularly effective as a counter uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) capability.
