New Delhi, April 26: The United States has offered India one of its most advanced ship-board missile defence systems, capable of tracking and neutralising up to 100 attacking missiles.

The equipment on offer -- the Aegis ship-board missile system -- has the potential of being integrated with country`s indigenous missiles like the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile and nuclear-capable Agni missiles.

"An American company made a presentation to the Indian Navy in November 2006," Defence Minister A K Antony informed the Lok Sabha today.

"This presentation was made in respect of three ship-board missile systems," he said in a written reply.

Though Antony did not name the systems on offer, top defence sources said the US had made a presentation on the Aegis missile system made by Lockheed Martin.

4. He won't be around much longer unless he makes more deals

The sword of Damocles (sp ) swings over Pakistan's inner circle of power.

2. Why don't we arm the whole world and get it over with, once and

for all. Does the giving of this technology to India really protect us or does it just fill the coffers of the manufacturers? Does the US think that more guns and other weapons of war will make us safer? Sure!
