U.S. approves $52.8M sonobuoy sale to India for anti-submarine capabilities against China.

The U.S. has approved a $52.8 million sale of High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare sonobuoys to India to enhance its anti-submarine capabilities, particularly with MH-60R helicopters. These air-launched sensors detect underwater sounds and support U.S. foreign policy by strengthening the U.S.-India strategic relationship. Congress has 30 days to review the sale, which aims to bolster India’s defense against submarine threats, especially from China.
