IAF Chief to visit Israel, upgradation of UAVs high
on agenda Upgrade of the country's fleet of UAVs and the
status of a joint venture air defence system are
expected to be high on agenda of IAF Chief Air
Chief marshal NAK Browne who is on a four-day
visit to Israel to further strengthen defence ties
between the two countries. During the visit, he is scheduled to call on Israeli
Defence Minister Ehud Barak and Lt Gen Benjamin
Gantz, Chief of the General Staff of Israel Defense
Forces (IDF) in Tel Aviv, to discuss a wide range of
bilateral issues on the ongoing defence
cooperation between India and Israel, the IAF said in a release. At present, the two main projects between India
and Israel are the upgrade of all its UAVs with the
three Services and the Medium Range-Surface to
Air Missile system being co-developed by the DRDO
and Israeli firms, officials said. The Air Chief would also visit the Israeli Air Force
Flight School at Hatzerim air base and other
operational bases. To oversee the progress of
various projects being carried forward as joint
ventures between the two countries, he would
meet and interact with IAF officers and DRDO officials, the release said. The Air Chief would visit 'Yad Vashem', Israel's
Memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust
established in 1953 and Memorial of Indian Soldiers
in Jerusalem, Indian War Cemetery, in
commemoration of sacrifice of Indian fallen soldiers
who helped liberate Haifa in 1918, in World War-I. The Indian Army commemorates September 23 as
Haifa Day to pay its respects to the two brave
Indian Cavalry Regiments that helped liberate the
city in 1918 following a dashing cavalry action by
the Imperial Service Cavalry Brigade. The visit of Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne to Israel,
as the Chief of the Air Staff of the Indian Air Force,
comes after 12 years of his posting as the Defence
Attache at Tel Aviv for three years. He was
responsible for establishing the Indian Defence
Wing in Tel Aviv in April 1997.
