With India and Israel working together on several military projects, Army Chief General V K Singh is scheduled to be in Tel Aviv on a three-day visit starting next month.
Gen Singh is scheduled to visit Israel from March 16 to 18 where he will hold talks with the top military and political leadership, Army sources told Defencenow.com here.
The Army Chief is also expected to discuss the future joint development defence programmes with his Israeli counterparts.
India and Israel have been sharing greater defence cooperation since diplomatic relations between New Delhi and Tel Aviv were established in 1992.
The ties have become stronger in the recent times with India emerging as the largest purchaser of Israeli arms since the beginning of the 21st Century.
India has inducted from Israel the PHALCON Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems that would be fitted onto the Indian Air Force's three IL-76 heavy lift transport aircraft.
That apart, India has brought the Green Pine radars that warn of incoming enemy ballistic missiles.
Indian Armed Forces are also users of Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles for intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance purposes. |
