Sure it makes sense to make advanced stuff back home.But if you insist on such things while wanting to export weaponry,it’s not going to be easy.Every major arms buyer-be it the UAE,Japan,South Korea,India,Turkey etc all want offsets from arms contracts to go back to their economies.This maybe in various forms like forming new companies,outsourcing contracts for spares,transfer of technologies.No major ‘wannabe’ will buy from you,if you don’t give them back something in return-that’s the name of the game.

Just because Boeing is sourcing components from an Indian company doesn’t mean that classified technology is passed on to the new manufacturers.If anything this contract gives Boeing an advantage given that it is seeking to sell the Super Hornet & Apache to India.
