Ahead of PM-Biden meet, India formally asks for ‘killer’ drones
Thursday, 7 September 2023 Ahead of the Modi-Biden meeting on Friday, India has issued the formal request to the US government for the mega acquisition of 31 top-notch weaponised MQ-9B Reaper or Predator-B drones, aiming to ink the final contract within this financial year.
The US State Department urges India to use its unique relationship with Russia to help end the Ukraine war, emphasizing respect for the UN Charter and Ukraine's sovereignty. Despite maintaining neutrality and abstaining from UN resolutions against Russia, India faces criticism from Ukraine for PM Modi's Moscow visit. India's stance reflects a complex balancing act between its historical ties with Russia.

Senator JD Vance, nominated as Donald Trump's vice-presidential running mate, opposes continued US funding for Ukraine, advocating for peace negotiations instead. Vance's criticisms of the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine war and his belief that the conflict benefits American business have fueled tensions with Ukrainian President Zelensky. With Trump promising to end the war swiftly, their potential election victory could significantly alter US-Ukraine relations.

Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has chosen former critic JD Vance as his vice-presidential nominee. Vance, a 39-year-old Ohio Senator and author, was confirmed as VP pick by RNC delegates.
Despite past criticisms of Trump, Vance has become a strong supporter. After winning his Senate seat with Trump's endorsement in 2022, Vance is now attacking Joe Biden, calling him an "incapacitated president" and accusing Democrats of lying about Biden's health.

The U.S. has reportedly lost its sixth MQ-9 Reaper drone to Yemeni rebel forces since October 2023, with the latest shootdown claimed by Houthis in Marib province. While the U.S. denied the loss, visual evidence showed the downed $30 million drone. These recurring incidents highlight the rebels' growing capabilities against U.S. assets and the vulnerability of advanced drones in contested airspaces.
