Bottom-line I see the potential to see the ARJUN, HAL TEJAS and their new 155mm/52 field arty gun being possibly exported which India has considered doing for some time now.

For me it'll be interesting how they'll struture the deal and what gets bought.

Would make a good deal of sense for India that has China as a major potential enemy, on the basis that 'my enemies enemy is my friend'.
