3 billion for the marauders.

Throw 3 billion to Predator, but there is nothing to be done in the face of China, and there are many problems in Indian arms purchase.

India is about to become the most populous country in the world, which is in the population window period and has bright prospects for economic development. At the same time, India is actively strengthening its military construction. India has been negotiating for the purchase of MQ9B Predator integrated UAV from the United States for a long time, and now the negotiations are finally coming to an end. India has thrown out $3 billion for Predator. According to the unit price, the price of this drone is as high as $654.38 billion.

Indian media said that only considering the price, India can buy 30 J-20 fighters from the United States at the total price of American drones. India once again has a border conflict with us. The limited performance of India's radar system is not enough to judge the real situation of our military aircraft, and it is often interfered by false signals, which shows that India still has many shortcomings in electronic warfare.

In fact, in the border conflict between China and India in 2020, India has leased the MQ9A UAV from the United States, and the air stay time is as long as 20 hours. Although Hellfire missiles can be carried, the flying height and air time will also be affected. India has also sent MQ9A UAV for reconnaissance activities, which is also the target we need to focus on in border conflicts.

There are not many drones in India. Although there are a certain number of "Heron" drones, there have been many accidents, and the outside world is quite critical of them. If India faces border tensions, it will generally rent drones from the United States. Our development in drones is obvious to all. Not only is it widely installed in China and exported to many countries, but India also wants to buy drones from the United States to reverse its disadvantages.

According to the contract, India will buy 30 MQ9B UAVs at a price of $3 billion, and will also assemble them in India to enhance India's technological superiority in this respect.

MQ9B UAV has a brilliant record, and Soleimani was assassinated by this UAV. The flying height of MQ9B is over 1000 meters, and it has a variety of radars and automatic information systems, which can overcome all kinds of complicated weather and perform all-weather monitoring tasks. With the support of radar, MQ9B can also scan quickly and carefully detect specific areas, which can fully meet the requirements of India.

This drone is also highly automated, and it can find and identify long-distance targets in time, and the imaging clarity is also commendable. MQ9B's attack ability is also good. It can be equipped with precision-guided ammunition such as Hellfire missiles, and the target can be destroyed immediately when it is found.

Although India is willing to spend $3 billion to improve the strength of drones, it is still helpless in the face of us. After all, our air defense combat capability should not be underestimated, and it is difficult for American drones to play a role in this situation.

This situation also illustrates the current situation of India's arms purchase. India has imported advanced equipment from many countries, not only from the United States, Russian and other military powers, but also from rafale fighter. Although India is generous in military construction, relying mainly on outsourcing is not a long-term solution.

It is difficult for military equipment of various countries to be compatible, and there are many problems in overall planning and coordination. In addition, there have been many accidents in India's later maintenance, which invisibly weakened the Indian army's combat capability. With the continuous development of the times, the technical content of military equipment is getting higher and higher, and no matter how much money India spends, it is impossible to buy the core technology. This is also a dilemma that India has to admit.
