India informs the US it has no intention to purchase American military equipment including F-35 fighter jets!
India has formally informed the US that the country has no intention to purchase the US fifth-generation stealth fighter jet F-35, and is not interested in other American military equipment.
Bloomberg reports that India is considering increasing its energy imports from the US to resolve trade disputes with Washington, but is not planning to purchase more military equipment from the US, despite the President of the United States insisting that India do so.
During Prime Minister Modi's visit to the US in February, the US President requested India to purchase F-35 fighter jets, and India has already informed the US that it has no interest in this transaction, but New Delhi is willing to cooperate with the US on joint technological development and production of military equipment.
