The US government has cleared the sale of 13 MK 45 anti-surface and anti-air naval gun systems along with ammunition and add-ons to India for an estimated cost of $1.02 billion. The DSCA said the proposed sale will improve India's capability to meet current and future threats from enemy weapon systems. India will use the enhanced capability to strengthen its homeland defence. The gun systems are made by BAE Systems Land.
