India Seeks Armed UAVs

Issue: 05-2018

The Indian government has announced its intention to amend a deal with the Pentagon. Instead of buying 22 unarmed Guardian naval surveillance drones, New Delhi now favours the acquisition of armed drones that can boost ‘Hunt and Kill’ capabilities. In June 2017, the Trump administration had agreed to supply long endurance high-altitude surveillance armed UAVs at a cost of around $3 billion. Manufactured by General Atomics, Predator-B has both land and naval versions and can be armed with air-to-surface missiles, anti-ship missiles and laser guided bombs. The Predator-B is capable of hunting and destroying targets across seas and over land borders. This matter is likely to be discussed during the two-plus-two dialogue between the Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Sawaraj and Minister of Defence Nirmala Sitharaman and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary Defence Jim Mattis.
