India resumes deal with Israel to purchase anti-tank missiles

32
India has decided to return to the canceled deal to buy in Israel 8 thousands of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) Spike, reports TASS a message from the Prime Minister of the Jewish state, Benjamin Netanyahu.



After my talks with my friend Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian government announced that it was returning the Spike ATG deal back to the rails,
Said Netanyahu.

This is very important, there will be many more deals,
added the Prime Minister, who is currently visiting New Delhi.

At the beginning of 2018, it became known that the Israeli defense concern Rafael Advanced Defense Systems (RADS) received from the Ministry of Defense of India the official rejection of the purchase from it of 8 thousand Spike missiles worth about half a billion dollars.

As the Israeli state radio Kan then reported, the deal was canceled at the stage even before the signing of the contract. The first reports of a possible cancellation of the transaction appeared in the Indian press in November last year.

          Then the reason is clear, and the suspension and resumption of the transaction. Hindus got what they want

            Technology transfer was in the initial contract. It was just that the Indian Defense Ministry convinced that it would be able to make the ATGM itself and no worse. The prime minister did not believe them.

            Oleg oh and you are getting numb with the Indians, oh and are getting numb. request But this is your business.

            The Indians and I have been doing business for decades. We have many immigrants from India (my neighbor and my former colleague in particular), there is a Jewish community in India and there was NEVER anti-Semitism in India. So we know who we are dealing with. hi

              Oleg, LEVEL OF CORRUPTION (kickbacks) do you know? According to many sources, Russian officials still “grow and grow” to the level of the Indians. Although, if a bribe is given by Western firms, then this is no longer a bribe, but “lobbying” of interests and not corruption.

    For some reason, Modi loves Nathaniyah awesomely.
    He arranged a royal reception for him, not by rank.
    Sam dragged with him to all the palaces, firms, high-tech. Though
    not obligated by indian etiquette.
    Therefore, I was not surprised to resume the Spike deal.

    Where did the poor Indians go. The Rakshasas were surrounded on all sides: Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, and the Russians also refused to exchange the latest weapons for tea bags.
    So they decided that the enemies of our enemies are our friends. And somewhere they even understand that with such friends they don’t need enemies, but they hope for something. request

      "the Russians also refuse to change the latest weapons for tea bags." ///

      Hindus are just a few of the developing countries that pay in cash, and
      not by barter (like Indonesia) or who cunningly take loans from an arms supplier (like Turkey, for example).

        Pakistan has cooled down and will not get involved in the war with India. He has other problems, the border with Afghanistan is not calm for well-known reasons. Moreover, the states climb with their "we" in internal affairs and interests with the PRC. I understand that business is nothing personal.

    The main thing is friendship. It was reported that Russia promised Egypt 20 billion loans for nuclear power plants and weapons. Debt relief 20 years after the next revolution. Loans to Turkey, the restoration of Syria. Just like in Soviet times. It remains to take the Palestinians for allowance, the US reduced their aid to them. As for India, there is some form of democracy, so there are different opinions. According to my data, they have so far agreed to buy half. Maybe the second half of the amount will do their own. So all groups will get kickbacks.
