Last week, India’s Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) approved the purchase of US-Made Predator drones, arguably the best in the world. The deal will cost India around $3.5 billion for 31 high-altitude, long-endurance Predator-B drones. India already operates two Sea Guardian drones, an unarmed version of the deadly Predator series.
What are Predator Drones?
Developed by a San Diego-based defence contractor, General Atomics, Predators drones are considered the best in the business. Primarily developed to conduct surveillance-related operations, one of these drones famously identified Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan in 2000.
