Makes sense in the "rotation" LM will be busy with F-35 for some time to come....and NG will have B-21 to contend with. So Boeing being picked is not a surprise here at all.

I would imagine from deduction and (from page 5 - 6 of following doc), substantial parts of the integrated fire control are still imported, since there is unlikely to be follow on order (defence acquisition wants to move to TGS gun for next round which they want <15 tons in weight i.e about 3.5...

Oliver Stone is very gifted writer + director, no doubt. But the "documentary" is clearly (on purpose for reason of the plot intensity) taking a conspiracy angle heavily....it would just be boring without it. Reality was probably quite complicated in what the exact intersections were between...

As the Quad continues to solidify its presence across the Indo-Pacific, India may soon be invited to join another key multilateral defence grouping focused on the South China Sea. The alliance in question, known as the ‘Squad,’ currently includes Japan, Australia, the United States, and the...
