I have mixed feelings about this. While the defence cooperation is important, I hope we don't compromise on our traditional friendships in the region. The government should ensure this doesn't affect our relations with other Middle Eastern countries.

This is strategic thinking at its best! 🇮🇳 Israel's drone technology and missile defence systems are top-class. Joint production will create jobs and boost our defence manufacturing. A win-win for both nations.
