India's defence secretary Yogendra Narain says the country has received one of the two Elta Green Pine radars on order. The radar was developed by Elta as part of the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Arrow anti-tactical ballistic missile system.
India is seeking to buy IAI Phalcon airborne early warning systems from Israel, talks on which continued during last month's visit to New Delhi by Amos Yaron, director general of the Israeli defence ministry. He says no progress was made on Ofeq-5 surveillance satellites or full Arrow systems.
The USA has asked Israel not to sell arms, including the Phalcon, to India as part of a bid to defuse tension between India and Pakistan (Flight International, 22-28 January).
China, which also had a Phalcon contract cancelled following US pressure, is also unhappy about India acquiring the system.
