India will not buy f-35 fighter jets from America; Report Claims – Amar Ujala Hindi News Live

On the condition of confidentiality, officials said that the Government of India has told the US that it is not going to buy any major defense from it in the near future including AF-35. These officials also made it clear that India will prioritize conditions like joint development of arms, transfer of technology, construction and self -sufficiency in India in defense procurement.

For a long time, US defense officials have been indicating that in February this year, there was talk of purchasing these aircraft in talks between PM Narendra Modi and President Trump.

Under this, Trump proposed to sell F-35 aircraft to India. India has increased defense procurement from the US in recent times and has included MH 60R sehocopter and P-8i sea surveillance aircraft. Despite this, India relied reluctant to make high -tech purchases from the US until the condition of construction in India is fulfilled.
