- Confirming that the United States has cleared the sale of Israeli Phalcon
Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) to India, Defence Minister
George Fernandes on Friday night said, "Yes, we are getting them and
US has given its consent."
-
- Fernandes reportedly told CNN about the US consent over
Phalcon after meetings with top Bush Administration officials including
Vice-President Dick Chenny and dismissed suggestions that Washington was
concerned at the timing of the proposed sale of the early warning system
following Indo-Pak stand-off.
