I agree that India would love to get their hands on the triple 7, but I don’t think the State Department would approve of that sale, with the Hindu-Kush up for grabs.

Can you explain that? Hindukush might be up for grabs for the US and NATO allies in Afghanistan but its a long way away from any part of India.

The triple-7 is a British design,owned by a British company,but which is built in the US,with considerable US parts.If India wants it,the company can un-americanise it,like it did with the Hawk trainer aircraft,by removing American systems from it.

BAE systems is offering another product of it’s to India-a self propelled howitzer built by it’s Swedish subsidiary.
