India Buy 31 Predator Drones from America: Today, an agreement (India-US Predator Drone Deal) has been signed between the two countries for India to purchase 31 Predator drones from America. This will increase the surveillance capability of the three armies of India. Last week, the Cabinet Committee on Defense had approved the purchase of 31 Predator drones. India has made this deal with America for Rs 32 thousand crores.
Army and Air Force will get 8-8 drones
Out of these 31 Predator drones, the Indian Navy is likely to get 15 drones. Which will be 'Sea Guardian'. While the Army and Air Force will get 8-8 'Sky Guardian' Predator drones. The drone deal has been made with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) of America under the Foreign Military Sales Agreement between the Government of India and the United States.
Army strength will increase
The most interesting thing is that America used this drone to track the infamous terrorist Osama Bin Laden. He also killed Osama's successor al-Zawahri. Now these drones are going to join the Indian Army. This will increase the strength of the army.
2 nuclear submarines approved
According to the information, the Cabinet Committee on Defense (CCS) has approved the deal related to the purchase of 31 'Predator Long Endurance' drones from the US and indigenous construction of 2 nuclear-powered submarines to increase India's military strength.
