According to defence sources, India plans to purchase missile systems from both Russia and the US worth around USD 200 million. The Indian Navy has proposed to acquire over 20 Klub anti-ship cruise missiles from Russia and equipment for the American Harpoon anti-ship missile system. The Klub missile is already equipped on both the surface warships and submarines of the Indian Navy, while the Harpoon missile system acquisition is expected to cost around USD 80 million to the Indian Navy under a foreign military sales route. India has traditionally been using Russian weapon systems but has diversified its acquisitions in the last two decades with procurements taking place from the US and France also in a big way.
