This depends on overall maturity of domestic civilian industry too which is quiet some time away from becoming a true global force.
Inside the Stalled P8I Deal: Why India Is Saying 'NO' to America’s Sky-High Price Tag
The Navy has a dozen P-8Is, made by Boeing, and they are largely used in a maritime surveillance role, though they could be used for anti-submarine warfare as well., India News, Times Now
there is less enthusiasm for the Stryker armoured fighting vehicle, which the Indian army wanted for amphibious warfare. There have been trials in Alaska, but currently, there is very little chance of the acquisition process going through.
For the Excalibur precision guided artillery shell and the Javelin anti-tank missile, there is considerable positive feeling. The Excalibur could be co-produced in India, with Bharat Dynamics being the partner. Meanwhile, the Indian Army has said it is buying the Javelin, which has a range of over 2,500 metres as part of the Emergency Procurement programme. It is a tried and tested weapon, made by Raytheon and Lokheed Martin and manportable, being comparably light. But the Emergency Procurement allows for small purchases and so far, 12 launchers and 104 missiles have been purchased.
I do not understand what's holding this in limbo? Reject it and move on. The supposed 'interest' has been going on and off for years. The system will not be purchased as it stands today. Procurement in India is need of overhaul. Every other deal or interest just keeps on moving along at a snail's pace.
In fact we can give it to some private player with license to export as well.
Screwdriver giri? What is the indigenous content like?
The state of PR for IA. Was sent this across today. Who cleared this video for publication? People need to check and re-check the video (do a sample test) before they publish things from their official handles.
