Nuke missiles capable of reaching NWFP would be nice... Israel, according to a number of unconfirmed reports, has turned into India’s second largest arms supplier, after Russia. One Israeli official said India has supplanted Turkey as the biggest market for Israel’s arms industry. It is widely expected that final details of the $1.2b. sale of three Phalcon airborne early-warning radar systems will be finalized during this visit. | |
