In their bilateral meeting at Washington DC, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump announced to "pursue the procurement and co-production of Javelin ATGM and Stryker ICV in India to meet the country's defence requirements."
India's proposed procurement of six additional P-8I long-range maritime surveillance and anti-submarine warfare from the US was officially confirmed. The deal was in process for three years. The Indian Navy already operates 11 P-8I aircraft. The Indian Navy acquired the first batch of eight P-8I aircraft in 2013, which are stationed at INS Rajali, Arakkonam, Tamil Nadu. The second batch of four additional aircraft are based at INS Hansa, Goa. These patrol aircraft are equipped with multi-mode radars and advanced electro-optic sensors.
