India has approached the US to buy armed Predator Avenger drones, which can carry weapons and strike at targets.
India currently has Israeli made drones, which can be used only for surveillance missions.
In contrast, the Avenger can fly nonstop for 18 hours, conduct long-distance missions carrying a payload of two tons.
Fortune reports that if India gets Avenger it would get the ability to strike anywhere in Pakistan using unmanned flights.
It increases the chances of Indian retaliation against a terror attack from Pakistan and spark a new arms race between the two neighbours, Fortune said quoting experts.
