Sandeep Dikshit
NEW DELHI: Signalling an impetus to defence ties with Israel, the Commander-in-Chief of Israeli Navy, Vice-Admiral David Ben Bashat, is on a maiden visit to India.
On Tuesday, Vice-Admiral Bashat will be briefed at the Indian Navy’s Maritime Operations Centre and he will also present his views on the maritime scenario in the region. He will call on Defence Secretary Vijay Singh and meet the three Service chiefs. He is expected to visit the Mumbai-based Western Command.
The Navy is expected to exchange views with Vice-Admiral Bashat on the Israeli equipment being inducted, including the air-to-air Derby missiles on its Sea Harrier fighters.
Import worth $ 5 billion
In the past five years, India has imported defence equipment worth $5 billion from Israel. It has made innovative use of unmanned aerial vehicles provided by Tel Aviv. Their range has been extended up to 300 nautical miles (over 550 km) by deploying control stations aboard ships.
India is also deploying Barak anti-ship missiles on its warships and jointly developing the next generation of the missile with Israel.
