The Indian authorities intend to purchase from the United States for $ 3 billion 30 multipurpose unmanned aerial vehicles MQ-9B Predator. Bloomberg reported this on Tuesday.
According to his sources from among officials, the Indian authorities will approve the decision next month. The publication states that India currently has only reconnaissance drones. The defense departments of India and the United States have not yet provided comments.
According to the agency, with the help of the MQ-9B Predator, the Indian side, in particular, will be able to more effectively track the movement of Chinese ships.
The report says that last year India rented two unarmed MQ-9 Predator drones from the United States.
