Global armament giants are heading to an annual defence fair in India, which plans to spend tens of billions of dollars to equip its million-plus military with new hardware. Some 650 defence companies from 35 countries will take part in the sixth edition of DefExpo-India, which kicks off Monday, India's Defence Production Secretary R. K. Singh told reporters.
The United States and Israel topped the list of participants in the four-day event in New Delhi while 41 other countries were sending delegations to hold discussions with Indian defence officials, Singh said.
