The United States unveiled agreements this week to sell weapons to India and share with it sensitive military technology, but those plans face significant challenges from the US government's own weapons export rules
, announced on Thursday during a state visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and future defense cooperation face significant challenges from the U.S. government's own weapons export rules.
Ely Ratner, assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific affairs, has stressed the need to break down barriers to technology sharing with allies and partners, including India. "There are concerns about in the Australia context and there would be more concerns in the India context," he said. "Australia is an ally. India wants the same privileges that allies get without having any of the same obligations or responsibilities."
"Complicating factors include to what degree congressional review and approval thresholds kick in. I expect that likely will happen for the SeaGuardians," said Greenwalt, adding that the U.S. Missile Technology Control Regime was an added likely complication.And there is another factor: how willingly India will accept the restrictions that may come along with any technology it receives from the U.S.
"Together we could likely make a lot more progress than if we pursue separate paths, but ITAR disincentives will keep them from cooperating with us on things that matter while our over-confidence will keep us from seeing their potential," said Greenwalt.
