*India Open To F-35 Offer, But No Formal Proposal Yet: Defence Secretary* Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said on Monday that India would consider the potential sale of F-35 fighter jets from the United States with an “open mind.” However, he clarified that no formal offer has been made yet and that the US is still exploring a roadmap to make the aircraft available. “It is not an offer yet. He (Trump) said that they will look at a roadmap to make the F-35 available. We will evaluate the offer once it is formally made. In any case, our procurements follow a structured process where the services raise requirements. Creating an option of this type is important for us, and we will certainly look at it with an open mind,” Singh told ANI. 🔗 https://bharatshakti.in/india-open-to-f-35-offer-but-no-formal-proposal-yet-defence-secretary/
