    If they assemble Apache hulls in the same way they assemble fighter engines for themselves ... This is Putin’s major victory

      That is a circus with lights. After the words of Trump that it is necessary to return production in the United States. As a result, the assembled corps in South Korea moved to India. + Unemployment in the USA is the quality of turntables.

      TATA auto bought a car brand jaguar, since then the jaguar is not a jaguar. I hope they do the same with Boeing.

        The build quality of the Jaguar has always been low, both when it was a British company (Leyland - a half-state company with a trade union - drek), and when the Indians became co-owners. Two plants in England, one in India.

        The engine seems to be from BMW, and that's driving. And the bodywork of trashy metal and chrome was replaced with a shiny plastic film.

  In general, the news is good. The Americans will soon completely unlearn how to make military equipment. Tanks have not been doing it for a long time, planes are barely bare, Indians helicopters riveting for them, ships are doing something more and more for docks ...
  
  So this is good news.

    Do not carry nonsense, any opponent must be respected and not engage in hatred. Well done, they fused low-skilled and expensive (in the normal hours) work (where there is cheap labor), while they didn’t disclose "advanced" technologies, they shoved the contract for their helicopter.

  This country cannot be lost or found. Such clever-assed freaks live there that if they do not want to themselves then they will not be a market to anyone.

  For example, a calendar. It is written that the plant began to be built a year before the arrival of Trump.

      What for? What is done is done. They have more production in other industries withdrawn in other industries. For example, units of the same 787 are doing around the world. Wing, for example, in Japan.
      Well, when / if the loot spent on the construction of the plant in India is recaptured, it may be transported to the USA.

  What super technologies are needed to rivet the fuselage? It's not engines, not weapons, not avionics. And the Indians themselves have been doing the fuselages for planes and helicopters for a long time, and even with all the "stuffing."

    By the way, yes. In a helicopter, the fuselage is perhaps the most uncomplicated unit. Main gearbox, swashplate ... yeah ... :)

I think the United States entrusted the Hindus with assembling the hulls just to smuggle supplies of their helicopters to India, and Indian politicians seem to have done well, Apache launched production in his country, and Boeing will get his own anyway, because the helicopter’s hull is trifles, it's nothing in fact, stamping and rivets, and the most valuable thing is the filling, electronics, engines, blades and ammunition, and they will have to be purchased in the USA already ...
This is how Boeing conquers the Indian market (and this is for a moment 1 consumers), almost a fifth of the world's population ... I think they will not be limited to Apaches and Chinooks, they will also promote other weapons systems for India, crowding out Russia ...
As always, we have only thieves in leadership positions, they are not used to thinking, and even more so to do something useful for the country ... Until this system changes, they will steal billions from us and at cosmodrome construction sites and rockets to fall and everyone will be pushing us and sundry on the world market ... Fortunately, there is oil and gas, only you can’t envy our grandchildren, you can’t find a shaving machine in Russia or a toothbrush ...
