Indian Navy offered Maritime version of Global Hawk

[JayAtl]

scary- at over 60,000 ceiling , there are very few missiles than can reach it ( low orbit flying machine) and with 36 hour endurance and sheer amount area it covers... this is the F22 of surveillance aircrafts from what it seems. Unprecedented advantage...

I love its look.. it is sexy ...

Indian Navy adding some serious muscles

 

[Laughing_soldier]

i think USA will refuse this request
if they accept than Pakistan can also request for predators and reapers
i m seriously against American military product because they use tracking devices in their jets
like Pakistani new f-16 block 52

India offered F-35 so why you do not request for F-22? India offered PAC-3 , you can request for THAAD.

10 MQ-4C will cost $400 million. We should buy it.

Can we add in flight refueling to this machine. If so we could extent the endurance of this aircraft indefinitely (limited only by the wear and tear on machine parts)

BAMS will significantly improve the surv and tracking capability of the Indian Navy over the IOR. It is the best UAV available for this role.
