    • The FZ275 LGR - Laser Guided Rocket is a weapon system by Thales (formerly Forges de Zeebrugge). It is intended to provide a low-cost guided missile compatible with existing unguided 70mm rocket launch platforms. The HE (High Explosive) version of the FZ275 LGR is equipped with a HE warhead with impact fuze.
    In June 2024, Adani Defence & Aerospace signed an agreement with Thales Group to locally manufacture 70 mm calibre FZ275 LGR rockets for Indian attack helicopters like HAL Rudra and HAL Prachand.
