US approves $93 million arms deal with India

India

The US just signed off on a $93 million arms deal with India, sending over 100 Javelin anti-tank missiles, 25 launch units, and Excalibur precision artillery rounds.
The package also covers training gear, spare parts, and tech support to help Indian forces get up to speed.

Why does it matter?

This isn't just about buying new gear—it's about India stepping up its defense game after the recent Kashmir attack in April.
India is seeking US approval to co-produce these advanced weapons with Raytheon-Lockheed Martin and Bharat Dynamics, boosting local manufacturing and reducing reliance on imports.
It also brings India and the US closer as defense partners while giving Indian troops better tools for precision strikes when it counts.
