Peeved at Washington's decision to sell the fighter jets in its neighborhood, New Delhi on Tuesday evening OK'd defense acquisitions and upgrades worth $750 million. India's cabinet committee on security has approved the price negotiations with Qatar for 12 used French-made Mirage 2005 fighters that have 80 percent to 85 percent of their operational life intact, Defense Minister Pranab Mukherjee said. The meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, also approved buying nine offshore patrol vessels for the navy, purchasing a C-303 submarine-fired torpedo decoy system from Italy, and upgrading 14 aircraft-carrier-based Sea Harrier planes of British-make. The Harriers would be equipped with Israeli made air-to-air missiles. India's defense purchases are part of its enhanced defense budget earlier this year.
