There are a couple of things in this article that I would like to point out that I thought was interesting. Many are focused on the up and coming
China, but China is also in competition with India.
I find it interesting that India is so quickly trying to builde a larger and newer military.
According to a recent report by the consulting firm KPMG and the American Chamber of Commerce, about half a dozen American companies are eyeing an
estimated $112 billion in opportunities as India goes on a buying spree to modernize its armed forces by 2016. India also plans to induct its first
indigenously developed light combat aircraft, called the Tejas, into its air force in 2015
But commercial contracts worth billions of dollars that were expected to arise out of the landmark nuclear deal signed in 2008 have yet to
materialize, because of disagreement over India’s restrictive domestic nuclear liability law and bureaucratic delays in mandatory assurances that
Indian companies will not export American nuclear technology to other countries.
I don't think it is unreasonable for any contractor to request that weapons should not be sold to anyone else. That is how most dictators get armed,
by buying distributed arms.
