India has exported military drones to Israel that are capable of launching bombs, a move that the source says tightens New Delhi’s embrace of Israel while potentially undermining its support for Palestine.
The source says the shipment also complicates India’s position on the ongoing war in Gaza. In that conflict, it reports, Israeli drones have bombed targets and killed civilians. Speaking up for people who cannot protect themselves carries particular weight where civilians are among the dead (Proverbs 31:8-9).
The drones are 20 India-made Hermes 900 drones that Israel has imported from Adani-Elbit Advanced Systems India, a Hyderabad-based joint venture between India’s Adani Enterprises and Israeli military technology firm Elbit Systems.
The Israeli import was first reported in early February by Shephard, which the source describes as a defence industry business publication.
