$130 million per drone, not bad. Will be interesting to see how much tech they pack, plus they selling it meaning they are probably outdated for US by now.

What is the usage of these drones in todays time? When there are cheaper alternatives available as shown in Ukraine war

How? India China and Russia are together.

I thought drones were supposed to be cheap

Some people seem to think that “drone” means a small quadcopter you can hold in your hand. That’s part of it, but just like automobiles range from a small two door urban car to a million-dollar sportscar or giant dually pickup, drones too come in all kinds of sizes and uses.
*four weeks later* Russia announces new drone to combat American drones.

I wonder what the production cost of these drones are? Most places that I can find info from says the u.s is making a fair bit (as they should) from selling these at that price point.

Wait……What?
Isn’t India stuck deep into Russia’s ass when it comes to Military equipment? Who is to say they don’t sell a few to Russia then turn them over to China.
Until India shows signs of being “Normal”… Don’t sell them ANYTHING

Brother I do not like this deal one bit.

Would have been better investing in its own drone industry.

Man this whole thread is filled with people who are at best incredibly uninformed about geopolitics and world news in general or trolls who only know India bad.

Not gonna lie, I don’t trust them with these. I get how important it is to have an ally in the region, but this “ally” seems to love assassinating citizens of friendly nations.
And here we are giving them one of our top tools for hits like that.

Wonder what happened to the fake drone reveal they had a bit ago? Figure it must’ve been a scam or extreme incompetence or fake news but I couldn’t find anything new about it, but I also didn’t really look hard at all.

Why! Why would we ink any deal with a nation we do not know who their loyalty is with. What happened to their own gold backed currency and their click? The click that is fond of the USA. You know china,Russia,India, Saudi Arabia and more fans. Why would we give them this technology! It’s priceless! We are selling tech to people that no matter how long, would never achieve it. 4 billion towards how many trillion….. smart. How about we cut ties to china and become a producing country again!
nature_half-marathon on
Um… it’s great we want to supply weapons for independence. Yet, hasn’t trading increased between Russia and India?
Again, we believe in the principles of freedom and the right to defend. Yet, s. Arabia, India, and Brazil … are all increasing their ties amongst each other. Are we creating a new quagmire?

Why are we selling drones to India?

4 billion they could’ve used improving the lives of their citizens but sure let’s blow it on shiny toys

I don’t get it. Indian government and media is supporting russia but they also get to buy western tech.
mrcoy on
Is that the same India who was cozying up Putin and Russia? Ok, nothing to worry about as long as the check doesn’t bounce.
slashd on
India is also using a lot of Israeli Hermes 900 drones. What advantage do the Predator drones have?
KrytenLives on
Does Russia have the plans and tech for a predator drone? They will now.
Macqt on
So Russia prolly getting some predators then?
Fisch_guts on
These should have gone to Ukraine
Safe-Round-354 on
Dumb question: did the us gov purchase then resale them and the government gets the 4B or is this a private deal between the manufacturers and India. Or did the us government broker the deal and gets a cut?
