India To Buy Predator Surveillance Drones

In a mega boost for the Indian Navy and surveillance capabilities of the defence forces, the Cabinet Committee on Security has cleared the major deals for building two nuclear submarines indigenously and buying 31 Predator drones from the US.

After leasing two predator drones from the US, the Indian Navy is now going to urgently acquire 10 shipborne drones for enhancing its surveillance capabilities in the Indian Ocean Region, for which it has received the government approval recently.

India may finally be able to acquire armed drones from the United States that could transform the capabilities of the armed forces not just in strike operations against China and Pakistan over land and sea but also in operations against terrorists.

India is pushing for US approval of its request to buy a naval variant of the Predator drone, officials said, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets President Donald Trump for the first time.

India is trying to hasten a deal with the United States to buy Predator drone aircraft for military surveillance before President Barack Obama leaves office, according to news agency Reuters, which cited unnamed government sources in Delhi.

India is in talks with the United States to purchase 40 Predator surveillance drones, according to a report by news agency Reuters.
