What are the national security concerns in India's drone deal with the US
This question aims to explore the potential implications of India's deal with the US regarding the procurement of drones for its national security.
- One of the main national security concerns is the potential risk of technological espionage by the US as they could gain access to sensitive data and information about India's national security. Considering the geopolitical rivalry between the two countries, this could pose a significant security threat.
- Another concern is that the drones could be used for targeted killings, which would violate India's sovereignty and could raise ethical and legal questions.
- The US may also impose restrictions on the use of the drones or limit India's access to its technology, which could adversely impact India's defense capabilities and overall national security.
- The procurement of drones from the US could also increase the risk of cyber attacks or hacking, which could undermine India's national security.
