Sergio Gor: India Among Few Nations Trusted With Advanced US Defence Tech
What Happened
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said the India-US defence partnership is built on“trust” and extends beyond weapons sales. In an interview, Gor stressed that Washington does not provide its most advanced military technology to every country, describing India as a trusted partner. He cited cooperation on Javelin anti-tank missiles and Apache helicopters, and highlighted plans to explore co-production of Javelin missiles in India through a partnership involving Tata Advanced Systems, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
Key Takeaways
The remarks underscore the growing strategic depth of India-US defence ties. Co-production and technology-transfer initiatives signal increasing confidence between the two countries and align with India's push to expand domestic defence manufacturing capabilities.
