India and Japan have agreed to collaborate on stealth technology for naval vessels, specifically outfitting Indian warships with Japan’s Unified Complex Radio Antenna system, which reduces radar detectability by consolidating antennas into a single structure. Prime Minister Narendra Modi characterized the initiative as a milestone in bilateral defense technology cooperation, adding that future joint development would bolster regional peace, maritime security, and a rules-based order. The pact comes as China deepens its own naval ties with Pakistan. Analysts cited in reports note the agreement signals growing strategic trust between New Delhi and Tokyo and a shared interest in reducing dependence on external powers.
