The focus is on the significant defense procurement developments between India and the United States. A major deal for US-made F404 engines for 97 Tejas fighter jets is nearing finalization, with sources indicating the agreement is likely to be sealed by the end of August. This follow-on order supplements an initial 99-engine order already in progress, with two engines delivered and a third expected this month. The Ministry of Defence is fast-tracking engine deliveries to accelerate the Tejas program. Discussions are also ongoing for a follow-on order of six P-8I Poseidon aircraft for the Indian Navy. These developments proceed amidst speculations regarding defense trade and the Trump tariff hike. Despite past delays in engine supplies, which impacted the Tejas light combat aircraft induction, India is moving forward with these crucial defense procurements. "The deal is almost finalized, that’s what the sources have told India today. And by end of August, this deal will be sealed." The procurement is critical as India looks to retire its MiG squadrons.
