United States: MQ9-B Drones To Provide India With Enhanced Maritime Security And Domain Awareness Capability

The United States stated that the sale of general Atomic MQ9-B armed drones would give India enhanced maritime security and domain awareness capabilities.

The State Department announced last week that it has approved the sale of 31 MQ-9B armed drones at an estimated cost of USD 3.99 billion.

The Proposed mega drone pact was disclosed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s historic state visit in June 2023.

At a daily briefing, Vedant Patel, State Department Deputy Spokesperson, stated, “This sale, we believe, will provide India with an enhanced maritime security and maritime domain awareness capability”.

“It offers India outright ownership of these aircraft, and this is something that we’ll continue to deepen our cooperation with our Indian partners on”, Patel continued.
