Despite concerns, India remains captivated by the potential of these airborne sentinels. The nation is considering the acquisition of 31 MQ-9B drones, which would cost a staggering 129 million/UAV.
Amidst the bustling streets of Delhi, a delegation from the United States finds itself immersed in intense negotiations with Indian officials. Their objective? To broker a monumental deal for the acquisition of the formidable MQ-9B drones by the Indian armed forces. This potential agreement, estimated to be worth a staggering $3.9 billion, hangs in the balance as intricate discussions surrounding technology sharing continue to unfold.
At the heart of these deliberations is a team representing the aerospace giant General Atomics, engaged in intricate talks centered around the procurement of 31 of these unmanned aerial behemoths. The Indian Navy stands poised to receive 15 of these drones, bolstering its maritime surveillance and strike capabilities. The Indian Army and Air Force eagerly await the arrival of 8 drones each, fortifying their ability to monitor adversary activities along the contentious Line of Actual Control (LAC).
As retired Major General Ravinder Sanan, a seasoned veteran of the Indian Army’s Corps of EME, eloquently articulated, “It was in June 2023 when the Defense Acquisitions Council, chaired by Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh, accorded the initial Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for the estimated $3.5 billion procurement of Hunter Killer Drones. This major acquisition involves 31 weaponized Predator MQ-9B drones under the ‘Foreign Military Sales’ category. This has been a felt need for our defense services for some time, and their acquisition and deployment will be a game changer for the nation’s security. These drones are needed to be effectively deployed to monitor adversary activities along the LAC. There is an urgent need for the actual contract to be signed.”
Drone Vulnerabilities In Conflict Zones
Recently, the Middle Eastern theater, a cauldron of geopolitical upheaval, has served as an unforgiving testing ground for these unmanned aerial marvels, laying bare their vulnerabilities.
Since the ignition of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza last October, the formidable Houthi forces have downed an astounding six American drones, their defenses proving more formidable than anticipated. These incidents span November, February, April, and a trio of May encounters.
