    The JV doesn‘t look promising. Vedanta is a mining & metal company, Foxconn an electronics contract manufacturer: both without chip fab expertise. They tried to get European STMicro with licensed 40 nm tech on board … sceptical if this might be a scheme to grab Indian gov subsidies. And Terry...

    Long or short stroke doesn‘t influence compatibility with transmission. Afaik there‘re other factors like bolt pattern and torque converter. The Renk HSWL 295 transmission in K2 MBT works fine with the former MTU MT883 Ka-500 short-stroke engine and new Doosan DV27K long-stroke.

    That I‘m aware of. Successful countries with major muslim populations like Türkiye, Malaysia and Indonesia are rare exceptions to the rule. Filthy rich Gulf monarchies bath in their petrodollars in debauchery but bring not much on the table for the betterment of mankind.
