US offers top of the shelf weapon systems to India

[S_O_C_O_M]

Anyways if I recall U.S. has stated they will strengthen Pakistan's conventional military means, in case of conflict with India does arise so Pakistan does not have to nuke India back to the stone age.

Pakistan is a Major non-NATO ally (MNNA) just like Israel. Pakistan is entitled to any sort of weapons any nation designated Major non-NATO ally (MNNA) is entitled to.

The US today offered India top of the shelf and top of the line defence weapon systems and said three agreements were being negotiated which would allow the country to share key American technologies.

“Pentagon is working with India to put three foundational agreements in place with New Delhi that would allow American frontline technologies to be shared with the country,” a top Pentagon official Michele Flournoy said.

“The cooperation with India is most developed in the maritime domain. But we are interested in talking about other areas as well. When you look at space, India has a lot to bring to the table, in terms of its own space technology and industry,” she said.

Flournoy said the US is committed to providing India with top of the shelf or top of the line technology.

The Pentagon official said defence secretary Robert Gates had made export control reforms a key priority. “We see streamlining and modernising of export control system as a national security priority and one that directly affects our ability to build and sustain these key partnerships”.

Flournoy, under secretary of defence for policy said US would continue to work with India on countering the spread of WMD, maritime cooperation and identifying new technologies to combat the threat.

She strongly made a pitch that India should opt for American fighter jets as it would pave the way for “more effective protection of mutual security interest in the future”.

Advocating “US solutions for India’s defence needs”, the top Pentagon official said an overwhelming majority of arms licenses requested last year had been approved.

She said, India should opt for American fighter jets as it would pave the way for “more effective protection of mutual security interest in the future”.

The American pitch for India opting for US system comes as New Delhi is in final stages of deciding on the mega $10 billion deal to purchase 126 fighter aircrafts.

American aviation majors Boeing with its F-18 super hornet and Lockheed Martin with its F-16 fighting Falcons are among the major bidders.

The Pentagon official who was speaking at a seminar ‘Investing in the future of US-India defence relations’, at the Washington Chapter of Asia Society said US arms sale to India were showing an upward graph and identified recent purchase by New Delhi of C-130J Hercules Transport Aircraft, just rolled out P-81 Maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft and the proposed sale of heavy-lift C-17 Aircraft.

“I am and will continue to be a very strong advocate of US solutions for India’s defence needs. US companies are eager to work with India as the Indian military continues to modernise,” she said.

“Today, two American companies are among the leading competitors for the $10 billion sale of 126 advanced fighter aircraft to the Indian Air Force, currently the world’s biggest defence tender. And we are also looking at future defence sales of the C-17, as another example of near-term defence cooperation,” Flournoy said.

“I want to underscore though that we in the department of defence do not view defence sales as mere commercial transactions.

We understand that India is making a strategic as well as an economic choice when it makes defence acquisitions,” she said.

“Obviously the commercial benefits of defence sales to the US economy can’t be denied. But from a department of defence perspective, these sales are even more important in building a strategic partnership that will allow both countries to cooperate more effectively, to protect their mutual security interests in the future,” Flournoy said in her speech.

“Whether the scenarios involve humanitarian assistance, counter terrorism cooperation, maritime security activities, having common equipment will allow more seamless cooperation.

India is of course also seeking to build its own indigenous defence industry and is looking for the best technologies to use in the defence sector,” she noted.

Pentagon official favors high-tech aid to India​

Thursday, July 1, 2010

A top Defense Department official says the U.S. is committed to providing India with top-of-the-line technology as India modernizes its armed forces and builds its own defense industry.

Michele Flournoy, undersecretary of defense for policy, described herself as a very strong advocate of "U.S. solutions for India's defense needs."

In a policy speech at an Asia Society event on Thursday, she said U.S. companies are eager to work with India.

The U.S. has sold C-130J and the P-81 aircraft to India as part of the burgeoning defense trade between the two countries.

Two U.S. companies are among the leading competitors for a $10 billion sale of 126 advanced fighter aircraft to the Indian air force, which is currently the world's biggest defense tender.

Ms. Flournoy said the U.S. also is looking at future sales of the C-17 as another example of near-term defense cooperation with its Asian ally.

"We in the Department of Defense do not view defense sales as mere commercial transactions," Ms. Flournoy said.

"We understand that India is making a strategic as well as an economic choice when it makes defense acquisitions. Obviously the commercial benefits of defense sales to the U.S. economy cannot be denied," she said.

"But for a DoD perspective, these sales are even more important in building a strategic partnership that will allow both countries to cooperate more effectively to protect their mutual security interests in the future."

Ms. Flournoy said whether the scenarios involve humanitarian assistance, counterterrorism cooperation or maritime security activities, having common equipment will allow for a more seamless cooperation between the U.S. and India.
