The US is leading in armaments and aerospace trade with India, driven by two main factors. Firstly, a decrease in Indian imports of Russian weapons from over 70% to 36%, as reported by SIPRI. Secondly, significant services and intangible imports from the US, including Big Tech services routed through Ireland. This has led to an increase in armaments and aerospace purchases from the US, such as Apache helicopters, GE 404 engines for India's indigenous fighter aircraft, Predator drones, and P8-i Poseidon maritime surveillance aircraft.
