the whole thing can be divided into 3 parts
1. Pretty names, such as democracy, or strategic partnership, all these are empty words, do not mean anything.
2. real thing, this part is real, that is India pays huge amount of money for US weapons, GE 414 is outdated, US would not use it for anything, sell it to to make money, India cannot use it to make 5th gen. fighter, it is a waste of money. for the drone, $32 million each to US , sold India for $100 million each, India is just a customer, nothing to do strategic partner, US sells the same to Japan and TW, difference is the US share the data link from the drone with them, not to India.
3. a pie in the air, this is so called, technology cooperation with US and India, including making chips, or AI or whatever, the problem for this part is, it is mainly not up to the US government, it is up to the individual company of the US , if they think they can make money, they will do that, if not they will not, India is not a good place for them to make money, in the past 5 yrs, more foreign companies moved out of India than moving in, if Ford and GM all fled, they cannot even make cars in India, who can make chips in India for making money? not even potato chips, ,
