U.S. Presidential Helicopter Cabins Made in INDIA ?????

YGTBSM!!!!

So much for AMERICAN MADE! .......And now we trust India more than the UK and Italy????? REALLY? What an insult to our NATO ALLIES.

Construction of US Presidential Helo Starts in India
Lockheed Martin has begun construction of the first lot of six new-generation U.S. presidential transport helicopters in India, according to a report by India Strategic. Construction of the VH 92 Superhawks' cabins began recently in collaboration with India's Tata Advanced Systems Ltd., which also will exclusively develop components such as wire harnesses. The VH 92 is a variant of Sikorsky’s S-92, selected by the U.S. Defense Department in May 2014 to replace the current presidential fleet of Sikorsky VH-69s and VH-3Ds. L-M had already been a part of that contract award, tasked with designing the VH 92’s onboard communication and electronic warfare suites. L-M’s recent acquisition of Sikorsky means it will now oversee development of that company's airframe as well.
