US to offer 'Stryker' combat vehicle, howitzer upgrades
Hindustan Times
|June 22, 2023
Indo-US defence cooperation is set to take an orbital jump after Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets US President Joe Biden on Thursday in Washington, with the Pentagon offering New Delhi the "Stryker" family of eightwheeled armoured fighting vehicles and upgradation of M777 towed howitzers, apart from MQ-9 Reaper drones and the manufacturing of GE-F414 aircraft engines in India under 100% transfer of technology.
NEW DELHI: According to officials based in New Delhi and Washington, while the final decision on both Stryker and upgradation of M777 lightweight howitzer depends on the conditions offered by the US, the defence equipment deals will be a significant component of the outcomes of the visit which will also see the signing of a deal with Micron for a $2.7 billion chip plant in India and a pact on quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
