President Biden and Prime Minister Modi welcomed India’s plans to procure General Atomics MQ-9B HALE UAVs. The MQ-9Bs, which will be assembled in India, will enhance the ISR capabilities of India’s armed forces across domains. As part of this plan, General Atomics will also establish a Comprehensive Global MRO facility in India to support of India’s long-term goals to boost indigenous defense capabilities.

Common people of India givr "0" f*ck about defence. They dont mind if we purchase zero weapons.And this is why the Congress will not come back to power. Not knowing where to pick battles.
RaGa thinks by getting a defence scam on this govt, he gets 'revenge' for Bofors and payback for not getting his way in the Rafale deal.
And the Congress is making the same disaster it did in 2019. No learnings. Really sad to see the brain dead people in Congress due to a dead brain in RaGa.
