.......... So, if the F16 line moves to India from Fort Worth, does that mean a branch of the US military accepting a front line aircraft being manufactured outside of the continental US by a country which has previous in working with the Former USSR, even as an attrition replacement?
Also, I don't see how that gels with "the Donald"'s bringing jobs back to America rhetoric. I can't see that laying off large numbers of skilled Texan taxpayers in favour of a relatively small contract for Lockheed being a PR coup.
