From which one of the following did India buy the Barak anti-missile defence systems?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Barak family of surface-to-air/anti-missile systems originates in Israel and was developed and manufactured by Israeli firms Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, confirming Israel as the system’s source [1]. India later became a development and procurement partner on the improved Barak-8, a joint venture involving IAI/Rafael and Indian organisations such as DRDO and Bharat Dynamics Limited, with Indian industry partners participating in production and integration—demonstrating that India procured and co-developed Israeli Barak systems rather than buying them from Russia, France or the USA [2]. Therefore, the Barak anti-missile defence systems acquired by India came from Israel.
