The F-16 Block 70 Fighter Jet is the most unconventional version of the Fighting Falcon, the wings of which will be manufactured in India. Lockheed Martin has joined hands with Tata Advanced Systems to produce the fighter wings in Hyderabad. But the United States President Donald Trump wants to bring back it’s manufacturing to American coasts.
This will not cost any American jobs, because F-16 wings are currently manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries in Israel. On the other hand, it’s hardly a victory for Trump’s call for the U.S. manufactured to bring their outsourced production back home.
“This strategic initiative positions Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) to become the provider of wings for all future customers,” said a Lockheed Martin statement. “This is a strategic business decision that reflects the value of our partnerships with India and the confidence we have in Tata.”
Responding to speculation that the move is an incentive for the Indian Air Force to purchase the F-16, Lockheed Martin stated the “the planned F-16 wing production move to India is not contingent on the Government of India selecting the F-16 for the Indian Air Force.”
