Field trials for $10b jet deal
India will begin field trials in August to buy 126 fighter jets, defense officials said yesterday, moving forward on the $10.4 billion deal two days after New Delhi agreed a defense pact with the United States.
The announcement of the defense agreement came at the end of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's trip to India, which aimed to deepen ties and advance defense and civilian nuclear cooperation.
