India - Back office of weapon manufacturing

India accounts for 14% of weapons import market. Such is the poor performance of domestic companies.

So we are forced to import weapns technology. Even when we import we are importing old technologies. Example F16s are being ordered.

 India is looking to manufacture F16s locally. Point to be kept in mind is F16s have not been inducted in US defence since 1999 replaced by latest non detectable F35s instead. So we will be looking to become a manufacturer of old weapons.
