News Nation Bureau 23 June 2016, 11:13 PM
India has sought from the US high-tech multi-mission Predator drones for protecting its maritime assets, especially in the Indian Ocean. India has conveyed its desire to purchase the drones in a letter of request (LoR) to the US last week, sources said. This is part of the Indian Government’s efforts to fast track its goal to secure the country’s maritime assets in particular in the Indian Ocean and detect untoward intrusion like the one during Mumbai terrorist attack on a real time basis.
