In response, Lockheed Martin issued a statement:
“Lockheed Martin has been a trusted and strategic partner to India for over three decades and has been instrumental in establishing the foundation of the aerospace and defence ecosystem. We’ve proven our commitment through various production programs like the C-130J, S-92 cabin, and the fighter wings feeding into the global supply chain.
We are encouraged by the recent announcement by President Trump to provide the F-35 to India. We look forward to working closely with both governments on upcoming strategic procurements, including the fighters, Javelin, and helicopters that will further empower the Indian Armed Forces with 21st-century security solutions and deterrence capabilities to address their pressing needs.”
