India increases military spending beyond 11B
The Indian Ministry of Defense announced that the Defense Procurement Council has approved the purchase of military equipment worth $11.64 billion. This includes systems for detecting chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear risks, highly maneuverable vehicles, lightweight helicopters, and mine-laying tanks. The deal also involves acquiring S-400 missile systems from Russia to counter long-term threats, as part of the Indian Army's modernization efforts to enhance its defensive capabilities, especially amid tensions with China and Pakistan. India is one of the world's largest arms importers and has gradually shifted from relying primarily on Russia to purchasing weapons from the United States, France, and Israel.
