Washington: In the United States, President Joe Biden has made important decisions regarding India. The Biden administration told Congress (U.S. Congress) on Monday that it has decided to approve the sale of “MH-60R multi-mission helicopter equipment” and related equipment at an estimated cost of $1.17 billion. This decision by the United States is very important for India.
How will this benefit India?
The proposed sale of the equipment will improve India’s ability to deter current and future threats by upgrading its anti-submarine warfare capabilities, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency told Congress in a notification. The notice shows that India plans to purchase 30 sets of “Multifunctional Information Distribution System-Joint Tactical Radio System” (MIDS-JTRS). In this sale, the contract will be primarily with Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems.
India will get help from the US
Under the agreement, India will also receive 30 Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio Systems. It will feature advanced data transmission systems, external fuel tanks, forward-looking infrared systems, operator machine interfaces, additional containers and more, as well as U.S. assistance in design, manufacturing and testing.

a relief for india
Notably, the Biden administration has approved the sale of major defense equipment to India just weeks before the end of its four-year term. The decision comes as a relief to India because if the Biden administration does not approve the deal, it may take more time to approve it after the new government is formed.
