............ US Government has Cleared Lockheed Martin To Sell Patriot PAC-3 missile defense system and F-16 .............. and Boeing to Sell F/A-18 Super Hornet To India.............. It's not Up to the Companey To make Such Desicion Clearance has to Come from the Government so these Deals reflect Policy of the US Government.
US Government Clearing the Offeres Dosen't mean India Would Buy them ........ they have Put forth their Offers ......so have many other Weapon manufacturers ........... their Offers along with others are Currently being reviewed .
This is a Huge Policy Shift By Both America and India ........ In the Biggest Policy Shift India Invited Lockheed Martin to Bid for the 126 Fighter Aircraft it wants to buy along with The Dassault , Gripen and MIG which are also in the Competation....... Such Invitation would have been Unthinkable a few years back between the Long time Foes ............ Lockheed Martin Contacted the US Government for approval and which was Duely Given......... that was a Big policy Shift from the US side when many belived US will never Approve it...
But these Things are Just the beggning .......... Most of the US Companies will not the win the Current deals........... Like Lockheed martin has a Very remore chances to win this 126 Aircraft bid Due to it's Price and a few other Issues that might be resolved in future ........ same applies to Boeing . .......... It's a Start never-the-less.
Peace
