India asks US for Predator C drones

[GhostZ06]

New Delhi, June 9 (IANS) India has formally asked the United States for Predator C Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs), a leading defence journal says.





Reliable sources told India Strategic (www.indiastrategic.in) that the Predator C requirement has been mentioned at a very high level during Prime MinisterNarendra Modi 's just-concluded visit to Washington . Now that India is getting into the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), President Barack Obama will ask the State and Defense Departments to consider the Indian request.

Predator C is made by General Atomics Aeronautical System Inc . (GA-ASI), which has already offered an unarmed version, Predator XP, to the Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Navy for reconnaissance purposes.



Avenger is a further development of the MQ 9 Reaper, which is extensively used by the US CIA to neutralise terrorists with precision strikes and minimum collateral damage.




Avenger has a turboprop engine, some stealth features, a highly sophisticated Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for reconnaissance and targeting and can carry air-to-ground missiles like the Hellfire. It can be controlled from anywhere in the world through satellite connectivity.

Don't think we should. Stuff like this should only be given to our better more trusted allies.

India has a 9/11 worth of deaths every week due to sanitation. What do they need money toward military for?

India?
One of the few countries in the world that still has periodic outbreaks of the fucking bubonic plague in the 21st cemtury...

They may want to re-evaluate what they spend their money on, if their end goal is saving lives.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Don't we kill enough Pakistanis for them for free?

Regardless - they have a pretty capable aerospace program, why wouldnt they develop their own drones?

 

[bad seed]

I thought you guys would be cheering for this because it delegates terrorist assassinations [and/or related collateral damage] to an ally who isnt cucked by SJW fifth column saboteurs.

 

[ookii]

Should just send cargos of soap and deodorant to them

That's fucking disgusting. I feel like i need a shower after seeing those pictures. I feel dirty.

Just watched a couple of youtube videos on the sanitation issue in India. Owning a toilet has become a status symbol down there. This means the caste system is irrelevant due to lack of toilets. Now you are upper class if you own a toilet.....that's the only condition that needs to be met. For god sakes these poeple need toilets not freaking drones.

Well sell them.

They are a lot better trust wise then fucking Pakistan. The only reason why we are sour with india is because our dumb asses in congress keep giving Pakistan free money and weapons

Really? It was only about a year ago that I read a story saying it was an uphill battle to get (some) people to use indoor toilets there. People thought it was unsanitary to poop indoors. What a strange place.

India is by far the most disgusting place on Earth. Seeing rivers of piss and shit.... seeing dead bodies decomposing in the middle of streets, and seeing the most horrifying diseased and mutated people roaming around like the Walking Dead.

Yeah, we should be giving them nothing but birth control. Way too many smart people believe that Indian is going to or is already breeding super bacteria that will be resistant too all drugs. They are so disgusting that they might breed a super deadly bug that could end us all.


They don't need drones. Yuck.

 

[no fat chicks]

On one condition this sale should be complete, they must also take a buncha condems with the drones and give them to that overpopulated disease zone.

also India must wash its poopy hands before shaking on the deal

They needs to spend money on both. They are still faced with China and Pakistan and that will lead to major problems for them if they don't arm up. Pakistan has poverty and infrastructure issues and China still has a lot of poor and bad pollution but both are arming up.

You really think the caste system is negated by owning a toilet? An ancient system of hierarchy does not become irrelevant just because some person owns a toilet. You realize upper caste people own toilets.
