JERUSALEM: November 14, 2009. Israel will supply an upgraded air defense system to India. Israel signed the $1.1 billion contract Monday during a visit to Israel by the head of India's army, Gen. Deepak Kapoor, Reuters reported. The state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. has promised to deliver the Barak-8 tactical air defense system to India by 2017. Israel is India's largest defense supplier.
