What kind of Weapons will India possibly export to Vietnam which are 100% Indian?
The whole range of missiles except BrahMos.
Advanced Prithvi versions (if they want to replace their SCUDs), Prahaar, Shaurya (if they want some advanced quasi-ballistic systems), we can even share some tech of our earlier Agni-series missiles, if at all they're looking to develop a ballistic missile
program of their own. Since neither of us are part of NPT or ratified MTCR, there are no restrictions even with regard to
range or tech. And we can sell Pinaka 214mm MBRLs, Akash SAMs, lots of comms equipment, avionics for their fighters, many types of trucks, and other logistics vehicles from private companies, etc. etc.
Plus we can give them sonars & combat management systems for their ships (we already sold sonars for Myanmar)...it's much better than the ones they operate now. We can modify their Su-30MKs to carry large missiles like BrahMos (although the missile itself will be partly Russian). And oh yes, we can give them the whole range of ground-based radar systems, including some PESA and AESA technologies, both to support artillery/missile strikes as well as for air surveillance - it'll be a massive upgrade from their present radar capabilities.
We can even help them design their own ships with some new-generation features...our Directorate of Naval Design (DND) has ample experience in this field.
I'm sure I haven't covered everything...but as far as "100% Indian" goes, there's plenty we can give that they can find useful. Although end of the day it depends on what they actually need, and how much they're ready to pay. By the way, what foolish, imagiery criteria does "100% Indian" actually fill except someone's ego?
Even the "Chinese" Type-056 corvettes sold to Bangladesh come with
French engines. So what? The corvette is not Chinese? You guys seriously need to lighten up.
India cannot export any weapons which are not 100% Indian due to technology in those weapons if they come from non-India sources.
Lol, what a joke. We can sell anything fair and square so long as the other tech providers don't raise any serious concerns, and why should they? If they're getting a piece of the pie? And especially when our interests don't differ much from those of our closest defence providers.
Such as the Brahmos Missile which has components from Russia.
So what? Russia already sells lots of weapons to Vietnam. So why would Russia
raise concerns? If one BrahMos missile costs $3 million, India will get 50.5% share and Russia gets 49.5% share in the
money - exactly as per the shares held by each country in the BrahMos Aerospace JV which created & produces the missile.
It's mutual benefit.
And not only that, Vietnam-China have a rivalry and Russia sells large numbers of Weaponry to China and so Russia will be opposed to India selling Russian weaponry to Vietnam.
Thanks for your expert opinion on international politics but Russia already sells large numbers of weapons to Vietnam,
including Sukhois and deadly S-300 missiles.
So what are some truly indigenous 100% Indian Weapon Platforms which are export worthy to Vietnam?
While I have already answered your query in another post, I must inform you again that you are clutching to straws.
Take the example of Type-056 corvettes sold by China to Bangladesh...they have French SEMT Pielstick engines, so
what's the problem? Did they get in the way of the sale?
Russia is already a major defence supplier to Vietnam and the US has recently opened up to Vietnam (which means all other Western countries fall in line, too), India has freedom to export any platform with either Russian or US/Western components in it, so long as Vietnam actually needs it and is ready to pay for it in one way or the other.
