India Seeks Oman for Jaguar Spare Parts
India is talking to Oman to buy spare parts for its Jaguar aircraft.
India is the only country still using these planes, which were retired by other countries like France and the UK.
Oman has about 20-24 old Jaguars that India wants to use for parts.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is interested in buying these parts to keep their Jaguars flying.
They had a meeting about this on 24 November.
The IAF is not planning to bring entire aircraft from Oman, just the parts they need.
The Jaguars were first made by France and the UK in the 1960s, and India started using them in the late 1970s.
India has over 160 Jaguars in total.
