India could get US invite for F-35 first flight
Looks like Indian orders for the JSF may be invited. The US is slowly drawing India away from its traditional defence partners and into the US orbit.
As Washington's most ambitious and classified fighter aircraft—the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)—readies for a first flight next year, the Pentagon is preparing to extend a special invitation to New Delhi to witness the event at Fort Worth, Texas. This is significant given that India is not a partner country in the multi-billion dollar project.
