There is no wonder in the world, and recently there is news that India has successfully completed a large arms order, and India is actually the seller in this transaction, which buyer has such a big heart?
In everyone's impression, India has always been a major importer of weapons and equipment in the world, and almost all of its main combat equipment for the army, navy, and air force comes from military powers such as the United States and Russia.
However, it has recently been reported that India military enterprises have signed a large order to export more than 400 India-made WhAP 8×8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.
And the country that has the courage to choose to import India infantry chariots is Morocco.
It can't be said that India is rubbish, but this WhAP 8×8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, from birth, is a hybrid, its engine is from United States civilian brand, the turret design is from Russia, and the body is from Germany.
It is undeniable that India still has a hand in integrating multinational technologies.
But apparently such "hybrids" are difficult to fight and kill, so why should Morocco start it?
But Morocco can't be blamed for this, India really gives too much.
First, the Tata Group, the manufacturer of the armored car, said that as long as they buy their armored vehicles, they will build a factory in Morocco and guarantee that this factory will produce no less than a hundred armored vehicles a year. This approach not only allows Morocco to get the technology to build armored vehicles, but also solves the problem of domestic employment, who is not impressed?
Second, the Tata Group abandoned its previous procrastination and quickly completed all the necessary approval procedures, with a solemn commitment to build the plant within three years.
However, whether it can be built is another matter, and the reason why the Tata Group offered such generous terms just to win this precious customer largely reflects the severe situation of India's economic downturn in recent years. As India's economic giant, the Tata Group may also face enormous operating pressure.
What's more, Morocco's choice is actually quite narrow, and the hand is not tough enough to buy those top-notch new weapons, plus the olive branch thrown by India is too tempting to ignore the follow-up risks first. It can only be said that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, but something is better than nothing.
