India has not been seen as a potential buyer of such aircraft, in particular, due to reliance on Russian weapons.
US Presidential Administration Donald Trump has revealed its desire to provide India F-35 Joint Strike Fighter fighters, reports AP.
Earlier, India was not considered a potential buyer of the advanced platform of this aviation, in particular, because of the reliance on weapons made in Russia. However, in recent years, New Delhi has gradually strengthened the relationship of defense in the United States, which has signed new Naval cooperation agreements and the exchange of technologies.
The F-35 is the most expensive weapon in the US military arsenal. The cost of the joint strike fighter program is 1.7 trillion dollars. It makes it the most expensive initiative in defense of the country’s history.
Eight international partners were involved in the Fighter Development Program, and contracts with twelve countries were also signed, including Israel, South Korea and Singapore.
As you know, India increases the defense capacities in the Indian ocean. The Indian Minister of India Rajnat Singh noted that the importance of the Atlantic Ocean is gradually moving to the Indian ocean, which is the center of international struggle for influence.
