Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI) has reportedly signed a deal worth US$ 1.1 billion with an "Asian country", which is suspected to be India.

Coinciding with the visit of India's external affairs minister, S M Krishna to Jerasulem during the last fornight, was an announcement from the Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) publicizing the largest deal signed between itself and an "Asian Country". Indian officials accompanying Mr. Krishna spoke of "defence ties", as part of the agenda of the Foreign Minister's visit.

The Israeli media first reported India as the receipient of the military hardware but later corrected itself to say "Asian country". Other than India, Israel has defence relationships with Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka and sometimes China. However, none of these countries other than India have large military procurments planned. The lIAI-'Asian country' agreement is for missiles, anti-missile systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), intelligence and other systems and will be executed over four years, IAI reported to the Tel Aviv Stock exchange.

Israel has a played a key role it equipping India with gadgets for war-time activities. On 1 June, 2011 the Israeli High Tech Industry Association signed a MOU with CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) to increase the burgeoning defence sales between the two nations.

Following the Mumbai carnage of 26-11 by Pakistan-based terrorists, Israel has supplied India with RISAT-2, its most advanced spy satellite, to keep a watch on all military movements on the borders and the 7000 km coastline of the country.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Israel is to supply India with loitering anti-missile drone, called HAROP, which can be launched over a suspected area for hours at a distance of 1000 km, spot the targets and attack them with missiles.

Israel has rapidly climbed to the number two spot among India's defence suppliers after Russia in a mere decade. Most of the imports have been high tech defence equipment such as missiles, electronic systems and surveillance systems.

One should not forget this

India & Israel's Barak SAM Development Project(s)


Over a development timeline measured in decades, India's indigenous "Akash" and "Trishul" programs for surface to air missiles have failed to inspire full confidence. Trishul was eventually canceled entirely. Akash had a a long, difficult development period, but seems to have found customer acceptance and a solid niche in the rugged terrain of the northeast. India still needed longer-range advanced SAMs to equip its navy and army, however, and decided to try to duplicate the success of the partnership model that had fielded the excellent Indo-Russian PJ-10 BrahMos supersonic cruise missile.

In February 2006, therefore, Israel and India signed a joint development agreement to create a new Barak-NG medium shipborne air defense missile, as an evolution of the Barak-1 system in service with both navies. In July 2007 the counterpart MR-SAM project began moving forward, aiming to develop a medium range SAM for use with India's land forces. Both missiles would now be called Barak-8. In between, "India to Buy Israeli "SPYDER" Mobile Air Defense System" covered India's move to begin buying mobile, short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems for its army, based on the Python and Derby air-to-air missiles in service with its air force and naval aircraft. These projects offer India a way forward to address its critical air defense weaknesses, and upgrade "protection of vital and strategic ground assets and area air defence." This DID FOCUS article will cover the Barak-8 and closely related programs in India, Israel, and beyond"¦.

Now what is the use of that shit called DRDO? All IIT students go away to US and we are left with 3rd grade DRDO scientists, pushing us to buy from other nations.

The report says that the Israeli media corrected itself by dropping India's name. So why are they reporting that the deal is with India?

I think one of our Israeli member even mentioned that the country in question is Vietnam. If we were signing a deal, it doesn't need to be hidden as we have signed other major deals openly earlier as well.
