(c)Saras : Indigenously developed civilian passenger aircraft

Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Phalcon : Cruise missile supplied by Russia to India
The Phalcon is an Israeli EL/W-2090 airborne early-warning (AEW&C) system mounted on Russian Il-76 aircraft—not a cruise missile—so the pair is mismatched. The other pairs (Arjun MBT, Saras aircraft, Operation Seabird at Karwar) are correctly matched.([dawn.com](https://www.dawn.com/news/134776/us-confirms-israeli-awacs-sale-to-india?utm_source=openai))
