Washington: The Pentagon has notified the Congress of plans to lease two P-3C reconnaissance aircraft to India.
"The two leased P-3C aircraft will replace two existing Indian Navy patrol aircraft, Soviet-built IL-38 May aircraft, which are quickly reaching the end of their fatigue and operational service life," the Defence Security and Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said on Monday.
The agency estimated the value of a logistics support contract for the aircraft at $133 million.
The Congress has 30 days from the time it is notified to block the contract.
