India-U.S Drones Deal
“The United States and India will co-develop drones as Washington seeks closer ties with New Delhi as a way of countering China. New Delhi too wants to diversify ,which is mainly Russian-Made and also to develop its own defense industry and we want to support India on both fronts and are doing so .
In practical terms that means that we’re going to be working closely with India on co-producing and co-developing capabilities that will support India own defense modernisation goals.

The U.S officials suggested that two nations will jointly develop drones launched from airplanes and anti–drones defense systems . India has been wanting to upgrade its surveillance at the border through the use of drones to counter China .
Apart from this new joint development programme Modi govt is also in advance stage talks with The U.S for the purchase of 30 MQ-9B Drones .
Ties between the U.S and India were troubled for many years but their shared wariness of an aggressive China brought the countries closer together .
The ties were first renewed under PM Modi and Former U.S President Donald Trump . In 2016 the United States designated India as a major defense partner and since then the two countries have signed agreements that facilitate transfers of top-grade arms and deepen military cooperation .
