India to get access to almost 99% of US defence technologies, says Obama administration official

[SpArK]

Sure.

Be alive !

Israel is the one going take a hit in exports not russia.

Trolling by Indian toilet media...lets try with India asking for F35...
Such news only gets invented by exemplary Indian toilet media..

All versions of F35 is already on offer, what the article suggests is that the F22 isn't on offer across the board.

Obama is out of office in a few months. 99% will be gone when the next president is in office. India still cannot make jet engine to be self reliant.

I thought most of world can't make modern jet engines, it's good we are trying to develop.
I'm sure we will develop very soon.
It will be good for both of us, if you will help us.

Best of luck then and inform us when you got state of the art US technologies and they always comeup by saying that this is 1% technology we will not give you

Delay in Rafale are because of cost issues not issue of money, even if you find ₹10 million on a road, you won't buy iphone for ₹1 million.
We are getting latest technologies, I hope it will continue

Wondering what will be in that 1%

Strategic bombers:

ballistic missiles:

Advanced electronic support aircraft:

Nuclear submarines:

Communications assets:

Special operations support aircraft:

Most ISR assets - though you'll be offered some like Triton:

Special missions platforms:

Just to name a few. Add long-range cruise missiles to this list, and ASAT assets like SM-3, strategic defense weapons like GBI and cutting-edge developments like submarine quieting technologies or laser weapons developments.

Anything that's strategic in nature or is barred for sale or joint development by international treaties or domestic export laws will remain off-limits.

Do you want me to keep adding things to this list? It gets bigger.

Nice LIST!!!.... BUT the US isn't the only market in the world ..

USA is losing and losing fast. Make most of it. Ignore the critics.
Defence and trade.

I think we need the technology for single-crystal turbine blade casting!

F 15 Silent Eagle please or blue print for F 14 Tomcat !

If u are asking for blueprints, the only blueprint worth asking for is F-22.

F-22 ! THAT will be the day !!

But India refused to join international coalition against ISIS when offered by Obama admin.

India is not signing nuclear non profileration treaty (NPT] for past 30 years.

First yes.. why should india join the mess in Middle east.. ISIS is not a threat for India... its not our fight simple..

Second. Correct india is not signing NPT.. but US has already bent rules for our 123 nuclear agreement.. and its one of the most strongest supporter for india's nsg candidature and it will bent rules again. US has already declared india as most valuable non nato ally.. So watch and enjoy.

+.+ Cheers

WASHINGTON: India will be the only country outside US' formal treaty allies that will gain access to almost 99 per cent of latest America's defence technologies after being recognised as a 'Major Defence Partner', a senior Obama administration official has said.

"India (now) enjoys access to (defence) technologies that is on par with our treaty allies. That is a very unique status. India is the only other country that enjoys that status outside our formal treaty allies," the official told PTI explaining what 'Major Defence Partner' status means for India.

Early this month, after a meeting between US President Barack Obama and Prime MinisterNarendra Modi at the White House, the US, in a joint statement, recognised India as a 'Major Defence Partner

"We were looking for something unique. This language you would not find in any arms transfer legislation or any of our existing policies. This is new guidance and new language that is intended to reflect the unique things that we have done with India under our defence partnership," the senior administration official said.

"This is intended to solidify the India-specific forward leaning policies for approval that the (US) President and (Defense) Secretary (Ashton) Carter...and our export control system have implemented in the last eight years," the official said.

Under this recognition India would receive license-free access to a wide range of dual-use technologies in conjunction with steps that New Delhi has committed to take to advance its export control objectives.

Acknowledging that the impression in New Delhi is that India is not getting access to the kind of technology it needs from the US, the official said it is a constant source of discussion.

"(In reality), less than one per cent of all exports (requests) are denied (to India). They are not denied because of India. They are denied because of global US licensing policies. We do not share certain technologies with anybody in the world," the official asserted.

The perception in India that the denial of such technologies is reflective of India-US relationship is far from the truth, the official said.

According to the official, India being recognised as a "major defence partner puts it on par with our treaty allies".

Inside the American bureaucratic system, such a recognition removes a number of major export control hurdles for India.

The category of 'Major Defence Partner' was created specifically for India, observed Ashley Tellis, of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a top American think-tank.

"It was meant to recognise that although India will not be an alliance partner of the United States, the administration seeks to treat it as such for purposes of giving it access to advanced technologies of the kind that are reserved for close US allies," Tellis told PTI.

"The US expects that bilateral defence ties will only grow in the years ahead, that India and the United States will continue to work together especially regarding maritime security, that India will eventually be admitted to global nonproliferation regimes, and that it will sign the foundational agreements," he said in response to a question.

"As these developments materialise, India's access to US technology will also increase, and the "major defence partner" moniker is intended to signal to both the outside world and to the US bureaucracy that oversees licensing that India is viewed as a unique collaborator and will be treated as such where access to advanced technologies are concerned," Tellis said.

Calling India a "Major Defence Partner" is "more a term of art than a technical designation", noted Richard M Rossow, Wadhwani Chair in US India Policy Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, another top American think-tank.

"It certainly captures what is emerging as a unique relationship, exhibited by programs such as the Defence Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI) and the establishment of a dedicated 'India Rapid Reaction Cell' inside the Pentagon. Neither exists for a country other than India," he said.

"But the term 'Major Defence Partner' does not automatically trigger a specific process or program in the US system. Our two countries are feeling their way around the contours of our defence relationship," Rossow told PTI.

"India desires advanced US technology today, while the US would like more clarity on the specific operations India may be willing to undertake in the future to contribute to regional security. It is a process that has seen great progress, which we hope will carry over into the next US administration," Rossow said in response to a question.

Over the last one decade the defence trade between India and the US has increased from being almost non-existent to more than USD 14 billion. This is expected to increase manifold as India embarks on a major defense modernisation drive

I doubt this very much. Obsolete technologies, maybe, but not the latest technologies.

Do they offer transfer of technology high end. Answer is no, they even refuse to give F16 technology at the time when F16 was top of the notch.

Check this video to understand US batter and they even give you fever if they don't have any benefit for them.

@SvenSvensonov please correct me if i am wrong

I think we need the technology for single-crystal turbine blade casting!

Ask Russia and only that country may give you that but i have a doubt on that too.
