DefExpo 2012: L&T teams with Nexter and STW to offer 155mm artillery systems to Indian Army
India’s Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T) has signed separate cooperation agreements with Nexter Systems and Samsung Techwin (STW) at DefExpo 2012 enabling the company to offer several weapons to meet the Indian Army’s various 155mm artillery requirements.
