Biden Okays Sale Of $1.17 Billion Worth Helicopter Equipment To India

The Biden Administration on Monday notified Congress of its decision to approve the sale of MH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopter Equipment and related ones at an estimated cost of USD1.17 billion.

The proposed sale will improve India's capability to deter current and future threats by upgrading its anti-submarine warfare capabilities, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a notification to the Congress.

The Biden administration's approval of sale of major defense equipment to India comes weeks ahead of its completion of its four-year term.
