Zero Hour: Lockheed Martin ready to make Javelin missile for India
Zero Hour: With the Indian Air Force beginning the process of buying 110 fighter jets, Lockheed Martin has expressed its readiness to shift its F-16 fighter aircraft manufacturing unit to India, and the US government, according to the manufacturer, will allow it to do that. The American global aerospace and defence major is also prepared to transfer the technology of its third generation anti-armour Javelin guided missile system to India for its future manufacture. At least two Lockheed officials at the DefExpo 18 told that if the defence procurement deals were signed with the company that is all geared to bid for the world’s biggest fighter jet order, it would walk the extra mile and transfer technology to local partners for sophisticated parts of defence products.
