U.S. Officials in India to Discuss Missile Defense

U.S. officials are expected in India today for discussions on the potential sale of missile systems and F-16 fighter jets to New Delhi, Indian Express reported (see GSN, July 6).

Lt. Gen. Jeffery Kohler, head of the Defense Department’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency, is leading the delegation to try to persuade Indian officials to purchase the Patriot Advanced Capability 3 missile system, according to the Express.

India has indicated, though, that the PAC-3 does not meet its needs for a short-range missile system (Indian Express, Sept. 7).
