Deal to buy 20 such drones or MQ-9B this year.

Very capable drone. 44000 ft flight altitude. 1030 kg payload. 37 hrs endurance. Massive SAR radar. 1200hp turboprop engine.

Far better than Chinese CH-4A/Bs

 

[Tejas Spokesman]

It has armed capability too.

I thought India had that Rustom crap? If India can make a drone why buy from Israel unless India can’t make sht

Do not have cash for large upfront payment. Never heard of leasing arrangments for frontline equoment. Refuellers and transports yes, but never frontline equipment.

Will come with quite a few strings....
