India To Strike Deal With US For 30 Armed Drones

India plans to buy 30 armed drones from the US in order to boost its defence.
India will approve in April the $3 billion purchase of 30 MQ-9B Predator drones manufactured by San Diego-based General Atomics.
Currently, India’s drones can only be used for surveillance and reconnaissance but the addition of armed drones will add to India’s military capabilities.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is in the midst of a 10-year, $250 billion military modernization.
The MQ-9B drone can fly for about 48 hours and carry a payload of about 1,700 kilograms (3,700 pounds).
