Half-a-billion dollar missile deal with India said in doubt
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA $500 million anti-tank missile deal between India and Israel’s Rafael weapons manufacturer has hit a snag amid requests from New Delhi that the 100 surface-to-air Spike missiles undergo additional tests, The Marker reports.
According to the business daily, the request is being interpreted by Israeli officials as a sign that India is getting cold feet regarding the entire deal and is looking for a way to back out of it.
The deal had been scrapped in the beginning of the year, but Israeli officials have said that it was revived due to the recent visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to India and the warming of relations between Jerusalem and New Delhi.
