the emerging economic powerhouse, and the billionaires and businesses behind its
rise, delivered weekly.
The US and India will co-produce Stryker armored vehicles, as the two countries
push to counter China’s rising military might in Asia.
The announcement, made by a senior US defense official, came during the annual
2+2 ministerial consultations being held between the countries’ foreign and
defense ministers in New Delhi. Joint development and production of defense
equipment especially “ground mobility systems” was prominently mentioned in the
joint statement issued after the meeting in New Delhi. The two countries will
pursue more such projects in “priority areas,” it said.
The initiative “will strengthen the shared security of our countries by
diversifying supply chains and supporting interoperability between our
militaries,” US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said Friday in Indian capital.
The vehicles will help India push back against China along their disputed
border, while also reducing New Delhi’s long-term dependence on Russian weapons.
The announcement comes as part of a multi-year effort to strengthen US-India
ties through intelligence sharing, technology transfer and bolstered diplomatic
ties. It also helps Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s bid to expand India’s
industrial base.
An Indian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the majority of the
vehicles will be deployed along India’s border with China, where tensions have
remained high after a clash in 2020 that killed soldiers on both sides. Some of
the vehicles will also be deployed along India’s border with Pakistan.
New Delhi is seeking thousands of co-produced vehicles, most of which will be
armed with anti-tank missile systems. The rest will be used for battlefield
surveillance or as command vehicles, the official said.
The Stryker, a wheeled combat vehicle produced by General Dynamics Land Systems
Inc., is prized by the US Army for its versatility. There are more than two
dozen variants, which serve as infantry carriers, reconnaissance platforms,
medical and engineering support, among other missions.
The US Army, in recent years, has added a 30mm cannon to the vehicle and worked
to integrate directed energy weapons on the Strykers for short-range air
defense.
The Biden administration has sent Strykers to Ukraine to aid its defense against
Russia, in addition to Bradley fighting vehicles and Abrams tanks.
The US-India partnership has “never been closer,” Eric Garcetti, the US
Ambassador to India, told Bloomberg News Friday. “We think this growing
partnership can be a force for good as well as a powerful deterrent to bad
action.”
In June, during a state visit by Modi to Washington, the two countries pledged
to deepen defense-industry ties, including technologies for intelligence,
reconnaissance and surveillance, as well as aircraft enginesBloomberg Terminal
and munitions. As part of that push, the countries are working to streamline
regulations, licensing and export controls, and to deepen ties between defense
companies.
The US and India also plan to conduct more joint exercises across combatant
commands and regions, according to a senior US defense official.
