Reports note a ‘G-to-G’ deal for an additional ten Boeing P-10 aircraft which the Indian Navy has found ideal for patrolling of the India’s large coastline and extended interests; Pompeo’s speech at the recent US-India Business Council also flagged the sale of top line fighters to give India the edge to be a “full-fledged security provider throughout the India-Pacific”.
