#1 Israel has to collaborate with and sell to someone to survive. I'm glad it's India, not NKor or China. Should be a very good collaboration from both sides. And, has to cause some urine leakage from the diapers in Bejing.

#2 Maybe now the Indians will be able to bring a decent version of the Arjun MBT online. Strategy Page has a good article about all the problems that the Indians have had with building an in-country MBT, but with Israeli parts and expertise, that should no longer be a problem. Of course, that assumes that this deal will cover armored vehicles and that the Indians don't pull a NIMBY on the Israelis about upgrades to a variety of equipment.

#3 Sorry, wrong acronym - Not Invented Here {NIH} was what I meant. Too many times in the past couple of decades, the Indians have tried to push their defense industries too far too quickly and the results have been junk.
