India: Israel's Next Major Military Ally?

Good for us, I guess.

Be it Spike or Javelin, that's good for you.

But it is also good for us this time. It is a huge deal in our terms!

India will not openly ally with Israel because that will just make more terrorists target India for attacks using that as a reason. Additionally, India will lose any good relationship it has with Islamic nations. We will continue to be soft-allies however.

Israel must have offered some TOT for Spike unlike Americans for Javelin

A few weeks ago the Americans said that they agree to include ToT in this deal, at that point I thought now we gonna lose, but hey hey! We won!

OFF-Topic Question
I've heard that a lot of Israelis come to India after their military training is complete. True or not?

 

[Mike_Brando]

Because we tell you the brute truth...

So now a semi-literate madrasah educated Bangaldeshi will tell us truth about our own country!Mate,instead of poking your snubbed nose everywhere you should rather mourn the untimely death of your Jamaat Emir whose death left a gaping hole in the Jamaat leadership

That's true. 21-years-old young men and women often come to India after their mandatory military service.

India: Israel's Next Major Military Ally?
Senior Indian minister coming to Israel as major missile sale is approved - Netanyahu's promise of 'sky's the limit' looks to come true.

India's Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh is set to make a high-level visit to Israel next month, in the first Home Minister visit since a 2000 trip that began resurgent bilateral ties - the visit comes after India last month approved a $144 million missile purchase from Israel.

Singh, whose position is roughly parallel to Internal Security Minister, is to meet Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on November 6 as part of a four-day trip with senior officials, Indian diplomatic sources told the Times of India on Thursday.

India is currently the largest buyer of Israeli defense hardware, and Israel's military delegation to India is second only in size to its delegation to America. The two countries also have a Joint Working group on counter-terrorism, with bilateral ties flourishing under India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Netanyahu and Modi met in New York last month, where he told him "we are excited about the possibilities of stronger ties with India, and the sky is the limit."

The statement came the same month that Modi approved the purchase of 262 Israeli-made Barak 1 surface-to-air missiles, in a $144 million deal that will arm India's 14 battleships over the course of five years.

The deal had been frozen since a scandal in 2006, when suspicions of corruption by Indian politicians surfaced claiming that they had taken bribes in return for advancing weapons deals. Those suspicions were never proven, and with Israeli-Indian ties flourishing the deal has come back into play.

India has been actively buying Israeli weapons; last year it approved the purchase of 15 Heron drones.

The two countries are also involved in joint military projects, with Israel developing the Barak 8 advanced missile in cooperation with India, further pointing to the strong military ties.

Reportedly Israel is also looking to sell its Iron Dome anti-missile defense system to India as well, as India is interested in using the system to defend its key assets.

As defense ties with America continue to grow tense, as highlighted in Operation Protective Edge when US President Barack Obama froze the routine transfer of Hellfire missiles to Israel and ordered scrutiny on future shipments, Israel continues to show signs of developing Asian allies such as India, China and Japan.

BTW, is it SPIKE-MR? LR? Or a mix of everything including ER and NLOS?

LR and beyond are overkill when compared to Javelin.
