India plans to buy Japanese planes that can land on water 

India is all set to sign a deal for the purchase of Japan’s US-2i amphibian planes. The almost $1.65 billion defence deal is expected to be cleared by the Defence Acquisitions Council shortly, and will then be signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Japan visit later this week. The US-2 amphibian planes are known not only for their prowess in search and rescue operations, but also as a great addition to any country’s Navy in terms of surveillance.
