Indian Armed Forces to induct killer drones into Military

Hyderabad: In a groundbreaking development, India’s Defence Ministry approved the acquisition of MQ-9 Reaper drones from the United States.

The formal announcement will be made during Prime Minster Modi’s official visits to the USA next week. In a whopping $3 billion deal, India will acquire 30 MQ-9



Reapers.

Also called Predator B, MQ-9 Reapers are armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that fly autonomously or can be controlled remotely.

According to the sources, the Defence Acquisition Council in its meeting on Thursday gave clearance for the deal, subject to further approval by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS).
