America is giving knowledge by telling every secret of missile, bomb… Predator drone, India enraged

The agreement between India and America regarding the Killer Predator drone deal is almost done. India is going to buy 31 MQ-9B drones from America for about $4 billion. While this deal is in controversy due to its huge price, America has made every secret of this completely confidential deal public, due to which India has become upset. India has openly expressed its objection to America making every secret of America’s drone deal public. America has even revealed the number of Hellfire missiles and guided bombs included in this entire deal, due to which India is particularly enraged.

Actually, India is buying this Predator drone to deal with Chinese and Pakistani drones, but now both these enemy countries have come to know about every missile and bomb that India receives. According to the report of Financial Express, Indian sources have expressed a strong reaction to making such information public. Due to this, our neighboring countries, especially Pakistan, have come to know about every power of India’s drones. That too when Pakistan has received 6 to 7 Bayraktar Akinci drones from Turkey. These are the same drones that have caused havoc in Ukraine. However, both Pakistan and Turkey have not yet made any announcement regarding this deal.

Which weapons is America giving to India?
It is being said about Pakistan that it is going to deploy these Turkish drone planes near Lahore. There is no exact information about what kind of missiles and bombs are installed in these Turkish drone planes and in what numbers they have been purchased. Not only this, Pakistan does not tell about these drones publicly but they have been seen in recent military exercises. On the contrary, America has made every detail of the secret drone deal public.

According to the information given by America, India is purchasing 170 Hellfire missiles, 310 laser small diameter bombs, GPS and other equipment. Usually India does not give this information to anyone but America made its complete information public. After India’s sharp reaction, America is now busy in explaining the features of this drone. US says ‘General Atomics MQ9-B’ armed drone deal will enhance India’s maritime security and maritime domain awareness capabilities. Maritime awareness capability means being aware of everything related to the maritime domain that may affect security, economy or environment.

America praised drones
The US last week approved the sale of 31 MQ-9B armed drones to India at an estimated cost of US$3.99 billion. This will enhance India’s capability to deal with present and future threats through unmanned surveillance and reconnaissance patrolling of sea lanes. This drone deal was announced during the historic state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in June 2023. US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said in his regular press conference, “We believe that this sale will enhance India’s maritime security and maritime domain awareness capabilities.”
