BDL signed a partner agreement with Thales UK to localize 60% of the StarStreak ADS in India.
It is not only on offer to the Indian military but BDL will also serve as Thales global supply chain to manufacture and export the system.
Good Shit even if we dont buy we will sell it to entire world thanks to cheap labor yo.
I see this as a win win situation.
