SOUTH ASIA:

INDIA:

India plans to buy 30 armed drones from the United States to boost its sea and land defences as tensions persist with neighbours China and Pakistan. The deal would add to India’s military capabilities as the drones it has now can only be used for surveillance and reconnaissance. India is emerging as a strategic defence partner for the US, particularly in countering Chinese influence in the Indian Ocean and some areas of South-east Asia.
