The Indian Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the country’s final arbiter on defense and security issues, has approved the purchase of ten C-17 Globemaster III heavy lift aircraft.
As reported by StratPost, the proposed purchase had been pending approval by the CCS since March, after the Finance Ministry passed it.
The order is expected to be worth USD 4.1 billion. Next steps would be the conclusion of a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) and a contract for the order.
