April 24 (Reuters) - British defence contractor Chemring Group Plc said it would sell its European munitions business to France's Nexter Systems SA for up to 167.8 million euros ($232.1 million) to focus on its core defence technology business.

The company, which makes decoy flares used to counter heat-seeking missiles, said it would use a part of the proceeds from the sale of Mecar and Simmel to repay its revolving credit.
